2016 Sevilleta LTER Research Experience for Undergraduates Program | Sevilleta LTER

The deadline is fast approaching for this year's Sevilleta REU Program. Please share this information far and wide!
The Sevilleta LTER is seeking applicants for Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU). Application deadline is February 26, 2016. We are looking for 10 Biology REU students for the summer of 2016.
This interdisciplinary REU Site Program at the Sevilleta LTER in central New Mexico will train undergraduate students who will conduct independent research under the guidance of UNM faculty in Biology, Ecology, and Earth and Planetary Sciences. The summer program includes a seminar series, a weekly journal club, an annual symposium, professional development workshops, toastmasters, ethics training, field trips, and opportunities to interact with a multitude of scientists conducting research on the refuge. Science students will conduct independent research in and around the Sevilleta National Wildlife Refuge and will present their projects at the annual symposium to be held in August 2016. Working at the LTER site invites close interactions among students, faculty, and graduate students.
Students will have numerous opportunities to share ideas and explore issues within and across disciplines. The program's goal is to increase exposure to a large, multidisciplinary research program, inspire students to continue into professional careers, and prepare students for the rigors of graduate school, professional research, and responsible citizenship. The program exemplifies the integration of research and education. As students conduct research, they will learn how to be a scientist, along with many technical, methodological and ethical issues that arise in scientific research.
Lodging and laboratory space for REU students will be provided by the UNM Sevilleta Field Station at NO COST. In addition, candidates chosen will receive a stipend of $5,200 during the 10-week summer program that will run from May 29 - August 5. We will also refund travel costs to and from the UNM Sevilleta Field Station up to $500 (stipulations apply).
Applications will be accepted from students at any stage of their undergraduate program (freshman to senior) and any discipline, so long as the applicant is interested in conservation biology and ecology. Students are not eligible if they have completed an undergraduate degree by the start of Summer 2016. We welcome applications from students at four year colleges, students that are the first member of their family to attend college, non-traditional students, and students from traditionally underrepresented groups. Students must be U.S. Citizens.
Application information can be found at http://sev.lternet.edu/REU or you can contact the REU Coordinator, Amaris Swann at [email protected] (please put 2016 REU in the subject line).

A guerilla gardener in South Central LA

Talk about encouraging. What a great video, I hope you all get the chance to watch it.

A guerilla gardener in South Central LA Ron Finley plants vegetable gardens in South Central LA -- in abandoned lots, traffic medians, along the curbs. Why? For fun, for defiance, for beauty and to offer some alternative to fast food in a community where "the drive-thrus are killing more people than the drive-bys."
