Dear All, Please share the following with undergraduates at your institution:
ExploreCSR at University at Buffalo is a 3-day virtual workshop sponsored through Google's ExploreCSR grant that introduces undergraduates to basic connectionist models and signal processing in order to better understand how these techniques can be used in scientific studies and to solve real-world problems. Each day will consist of tutorials and testimonials on how computational methods can be used in scientific research (especially in studies of bioacoustics), followed by hands-on practice in small groups. Groups will compete to design the best methodology to monitor for possible responses by humpback whales to boat noise using Google's Pattern Radio. Students will also be able to meet graduate, postdoctoral, and faculty mentors to discuss future career and research goals, as well as get connected to information regarding graduate programs, funding, scientific organizations, and labs based on their individual interests. The workshop is designed to encourage women and other underrepresented groups in STEM to explore research and graduate opportunities in computing through mentorship and training. Undergraduate students studying psychology, animal behavior, biology, computer science, or any other major are welcome to apply! The workshop will take place *virtually* on April 16-18, 2021 and applications are due March 1, 2021. The cost of student attendance will be funded from sponsor support. There is no registration fee. Full-time participation of all participants is required. For more information, please visit https://ubwp.buffalo.edu/explorecsr/. Feel free to reach out to me if you have any questions. Best, Karen Chow chow.kare...@gmail.com
