Ocean acidification is affecting our state’s oyster industry, and has been for seven years. That’s why Governor Gregoire put together a Blue Ribbon Panel for Ocean Acidification, which met on Wednesday to discuss the nature and implications of ocean acidification in Washington. Many of our CoEnv scientists sit on the panel. Read more here.
Conservation Remix, a daylong event June 2, offers an eclectic mix of topics for discussion – from designing superefficient buildings that generate their own energy to controlling invasive species by eating them. Read more about the event, which is co-sponsored by CoEnv and happens on June 2, here. Each week we share the latest publications coming from the College of the Environment. This week, four new articles co-authored by members of the College of the Environment were added to the Web of Science or published online. 1.

Dances with data: Tools for turning information into visual stories. With the accelerating accessibility of data, from satellite imagery, genomics and all ‘omics, digitized historical records, and more, answering research questions is now as much about working — and playing — with existing data as about gathering new data. What are the most effective ways to explore your data and extract meaning from it? How can others — scientists, managers, the public – explore or even contribute to the data behind your graphics? At this month’s #sosea we will highlight some of the slickest tools and methods for creating insights from data, and discuss what is — and isn’t — changing about data visualization in an age of informatics and open science. Join us!
PANELISTS Eugene Kolker, Chief Data Officer at Seattle Children’s Research Institute and Co-Founder and President of Data-Enabled Life Sciences Alliance International. The Kolker Lab’s work is on data-enabled science, predictive analytics, biomedical, bio- and health informatics, high-throughput analyses, and proteomics. Their work in predictive analytics includes exploring factors that influence the health and care of patients, strategic development and resource management of Seattle Children’s Hospital, the national levels of support for the sciences, as well as economic modeling of Seattle. DELSA Global is a community-based, but international initiative to connect experts, share data, and democratize science. Dustin Smith, Senior Product Consultant at Tableau. Justin’s whole job is to play with data! He works closely with Tableau Public & Digital products. Hunter Hadaway, Creative Director at Center for Environmental Visualization. The custodian of creative cleanup, Hunter manages the design, development and deployment of all aspects of CEV’s graphical output. His specialties are graphic design, 3-D modeling, animation, interface design, web development, and video design/editing. Rob Fatland, Microsoft Research Connections research program manager. Rob has been called the “evangelist of Layerscape“, a product that allows earth scientists to analyze and visualize giant loads of data. If you can’t attend, we’ll be streaming the event live at http://new.livestream.com/scioWC/ and you can follow it on Twitter using the hashtag #soSEA. CONTINUING THE CONVERSATION… After the event, we will adjourn to Big Time Brewery & Alehouse on the Ave. |
