New Program: Biosystems Analytics & Technology
Have you heard? There’s a new graduate program in CALS named Biosystems Analytics and Technology.

The Biosystems Analytics & Technology (BAT) curriculum is intended to prepare students for careers in the 4th Industrial Revolution which is the intersection of science, technology, and analytics. Meeting the grand challenges of tomorrow will require a convergence of new ideas, approaches, and technologies from diverse disciplines.
Key features of this program:

  *   Cross-disciplinary training at the intersection of science, technology, and analytics
  *   Develop skills in precision agriculture, remote sensing, water management, statistical informatics, data-mining, and cyberinfrastructure development
  *   Utilize science-driven algorithms to address pivotal problems in science and engineering and efficient methods to access, mine, and utilize large data sets
Website of program for more information: https://be.arizona.edu/content/biosystems-analytics-technology<https://t.e2ma.net/click/39ijbc/j624jbb/7wr8zl>

Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA)
The Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) offers unpaid, job-protected leave to graduate students for one of the following reasons:

  *   for the birth and care of the newborn child of an employee;
  *   for placement with the employee of a child for adoption or foster care;
  *   to care for an immediate family member (spouse, child, or parent) with a serious health condition; or
  *   to take medical leave when the employee is unable to work because of a serious health condition
For more information, see https://grad.arizona.edu/funding/ga/benefits-appointment#family-medical-leave<https://t.e2ma.net/click/39ijbc/j624jbb/nps8zl> and http://policy.arizona.edu/human-resources/federal-family-and-medical-leave<https://t.e2ma.net/click/39ijbc/j624jbb/3ht8zl>.

ABD to PhD Dissertation Writing Workshop Series
Literature Review 1.0: Dissertation Edition

This workshop is intended for students new to, or struggling with, the process of writing a literature review. Register to attend<https://t.e2ma.net/click/39ijbc/j624jbb/jau8zl>

Digital Scholarship & Data Science Fellowship
The Digital Scholarship & Data Science Fellowship program (DS2F) is designed to cross academic years, beginning in January 2020 and running through December 2020.
During the spring semester, fellows will engage in a scaffolded process of problem solving while also participating in a series of librarian-led workshops focused on instructional design, digital pedagogy, and open educational resources.
In the fall semester, fellows transition from learners to instructors as they prepare public workshops on their chosen topic. Fellows will also create online tutorials that will be included in an open access repository of training materials for data-intensive, computational research.

  *   Application deadline: October 15, 2019
  *   Notification date: November 30, 2019
  *   Stipend amount: $1,500 total, disbursed in two installments

Coffee & Conversation: Data Science Training
Monday, October 21, 2019
10:30-11:30 am
Forbes Building, Room 307
What additional training or support do you need to manage and analyze your data? There are many data science training opportunities happening on campus but it is hard to know what is available and what is pitched at the level you need. Do you get these training announcements? Is the training what you need? What can we do better to help you? Stop by for coffee, snacks and conversation about data training.

Camping in the Dragoon Mountains
The SNRE Grad Students are taking a weekend off to explore the Dragoon Mountains, and you're welcome to join us! We'll be leaving on the afternoon/evening of Friday Oct. 4th (time dependent on which carpool vehicle leaves when), hiking around all day Saturday, and driving back Sunday morning.
Our camp will be on the west side of the Dragoon Mountains off of Middlemarch Rd. These are primitive campgrounds, so campers should be prepared not to have a restroom available. Food, supplies, and gas costs will be split up after the weekend (all food will be purchased ahead of time for the group).
If you're interested in joining us, SIGN UP HERE<https://t.e2ma.net/click/39ijbc/j624jbb/vnw8zl>!!! Through the spreadsheet we will coordinate rides and camping gear. Please reach out to Susan Washko<mailto:washko.susan at gmail.com> (washko.susan at gmail.com<mailto:washko.susan at gmail.com>) if you have any questions. Hope to have you along for the trip!

Weekly Spanish Lunch
Do you like speaking Spanish, or want to practice? Every week we have Spanish Lunch, where native Spanish speakers and Spanish learners get together and talk! Spanish Lunch is on Mondays from 11:30 am-12:30 pm on the roof of ENR2 (weather permitting, secondary location is the Slot Canyon Cafe). Bring your lunch with you, and let's have some fun!
If you would like to be included on Spanish Lunch reminder emails, please email washko.susan at gmail.com<mailto:washko.susan at gmail.com> with your request or with any questions. Hope to see you there!
