UF WETLANDS CLUB MEETING
6pm Tuesday, October 6
1031 McCarty D
Free Pizza and Drinks
Speaker: Dr. David Kaplan
“Going dry in the land of water?
A Whirlwind Tour of Florida’s Hydrological History and Looming Water Crisis”
Imagining Climate Change: Science and Fiction in Dialogue- 10/9-10/10
As we move into an era of increased climate instability, scientific analysis of climate change is central to our understanding of physical systems of our planet and the impact of these systems on human life. Science fiction (sf), the distinctive literary form of our time, bridges elite and popular cultures and broadly engages enthusiasts and scholars alike in the work of imagining our possible futures.
“Imagining Climate Change” will engage authors, scholars, scientists, and the general public, in the vital work of imagining our collective climate futures. The Fall 2015 and Spring 2016 colloquia will bring award-winning and influential French and American sf authors and climate scientists to the UF campus to dialogue with UF faculty and researchers in the humanities, climate studies, and water management, and to explore new ways of representing and responding to environmental change.
The Fall 2015 colloquium begins on Friday, October 9, with individual public talks by Christian Chelebourg, Andrea Dutton, Jean-Marc Ligny, and Nathaniel Rich, and responses by UF faculty from the Departments of English, Religion, and Languages, Literatures, and Cultures. The colloquium concludes on Saturday, October 10 with a moderated public roundtable discussion featuring the guest speakers.
All events are presented in English or simultaneous English translation and are free and open to the public.

Apply by 12/15 for US DOE Graduate Student Research Program
The United States Department of Energy’s (DOE) Office of Science is pleased to announce that the Office of Science Graduate Student Research (SCGSR) program is now accepting applications for the 2015 Solicitation 2. Applications are due 5:00pm ET on Tuesday December 15, 2015.
*Update for the 2015 Solicitation 2: The SCGSR program is now open to graduate students with Permanent Resident status, in addition to U.S. Citizens, who meet all other eligibility requirements. Detailed information about the program, including eligibility requirements and access to the online application system, can be found at: http://science.energy.gov/wdts/scgsr/.
The SCGSR program supports supplemental awards to outstanding U.S. graduate students to conduct part of their graduate thesis research at a DOE national laboratory in collaboration with a DOE laboratory scientist for a period of 3 to 12 consecutive months—with the goal of preparing graduate students for scientific and technical careers critically important to the DOE Office of Science mission.
The SCGSR program is open to current Ph.D. students in qualified graduate programs at accredited U.S. academic institutions, who are conducting their graduate thesis research in targeted areas of importance to the DOE Office of Science. The research opportunity is expected to advance the graduate students’ overall doctoral thesis while providing access to the expertise, resources, and capabilities available at the DOE laboratories. The supplemental award provides for additional, incremental costs for living and travel expenses directly associated with conducting the SCGSR research project at the DOE host laboratory during the award period.
The Office of Science expects to make approximately 50 awards in 2015 Solicitation 2, for project periods beginning anytime between June 1, 2016 and September 30, 2016.
The 2014 program solicitation and the 2015 Solicitation 1 have resulted in awards to a total of 112 graduate students from more than 50 different universities to conduct thesis research at 15 DOE national laboratories.
The SCGSR program is sponsored and managed by the DOE Office of Science’s Office of Workforce Development for Teachers and Scientists (WDTS), in collaboration with the six Office of Science research programs offices and the DOE national laboratories, and the Oak Ridge Institute of Science and Education (ORISE).
For any questions, please contact the SCGSR Program Manager, Dr. Ping Ge, at sc.scgsr@science.doe.gov.
