NSF Research Experiences for Undergraduates Opportunity: Modeling Salinity-Driven Biogeochemical Fluxes in Shallow Coastal Lagoons

This project examines the relationship between biodiversity and ecosystem function to better understand ecosystem stability or resiliency during environmental change. Given that microorganisms are the foundation of ecosystem processes, we have been focused on understanding the environmental cues that drive temporal variation of the microbial community (abundance and activity) and the effect on ecosystem resiliency following environmental disturbance. We have been testing our hypotheses in a small lagoon on San Salvador Island, The Bahamas. REU opportunity: Open February 4, 2016 This REU will provide undergraduate students the opportunity to explore potential greenhouse gas feedback loops occurring in this ecosystem and provide data that will be fundamentally synergistic to the overall project. Thus, I am looking for one student that is interested in gaining experience in biological lab work (e.g., nucleic acid extraction, DNA sequencing, quantitative PCR, etc…) and one student that is interested in using computational approaches (e.g., network analysis, ecosystem modeling, etc…) to work at the interface of biology and computer science using biological data to construct predictive ecosystem models. Both undergraduate students would work closely with two graduate students at first (experts in each of the topics mentioned above) and then move toward independent projects. Also, students would be provided the opportunity to gain experience with field data collection at our field site on San Salvador Island.Interested students wanting to apply or learn more about the project should contact Dr. Sean Norman (rsnorman@sc.edu). Students should indicate which project area they are interested in (biological or computational) and email a resume outlining any lab/course experience related to the project and the overall motivation to applying for the position.

Custom Software Development

We are a locally owned and operated pest control company. We have been in business over 50 years. We are looking to have a software program created for our inspectors. We need to be able to incorporate an inspection report, pictures, work proposals, promotional material and details into one form. We currently use a combination of word and pdf documents that we combine together. It is time consuming for our inspectors to do this. We would like a faster, more user friendly format. Currently our inspectors use a laptop to write and combine these forms. We would like to move towards a Surface to give them the functionality of both a laptop and tablet in the field. A program that would work on this type of device is our ultimate goal. Will this description be enough? I am not sure how detailed it needs to be to generate some interest from the students. I can give more if needed. I look forward to your feedback. Thank you again for all your help.

Student Entrepreneur Summer Program

Happy New Years, my name is Andrew Gaeckle, Senior Manager Strategic Programs and Operations at the Women’s Business Enterprise National Council (WBENC) a 501(c)3 based in Washington, DC and the largest Women’s Business Development organization in the country. I’m reaching out about our signature Student Entrepreneur Program (SEP) now in its 8th year providing collegiate women tailored entrepreneur curriculum, a pitch competition, and mentoring from the most successful Women Owned Businesses and America’s largest Fortune 500 companies.

WBENC SEP is FREE for students accepted and will be held June 19th – 24th in Orlando, FL. Application.

Help Needed with Web Application

Help needed with web application: Capstone Connect. New features requested:
  1. Once a student has done and evaluation for another student , that student should be removed from the to do list (as conformation it was done)
  2. See average grade for each student for each grade period
  3. Reset password needs to be fixed, it doesn’t work
  4. Open and close time for each evaluation. This would allow me to set up the evaluations for the entire semester.
  5. The program needs to give the average to the second decimal place and especially all the way to 10. It stops at 9. This is really irritating.
  6. The program needs to be able to copy questions from one evaluation to another or copy an entire evaluation. I have to either retype or copy the same questions one by one each time I open a new evaluation period. (the questions are the same).
I may have a couple more that would add to the work Dr. Dale McCants MCCANTS@cec.sc.edu
