Scientista Symposium: Women in Science

A few must reads…..

Read this inspiring interview with Corina Newsome, a master’s student at Georgia Southern University who studies seaside sparrows in coastal marshes. She and others organized #BlackBirdersWeek to highlight the stories of black people in the outdoors.

Mary J. Wilson, the first African American senior zookeeper, passed away at 83 due to complications from COVID-19. Mary will always be an inspiration for future generations. Read her obituary in The New York Times.

Did you know that last week was world ocean’s week? Annie Brett from Stanford published a commentary on oceanography and climate change.

And Katherine Sullivan, who is the first woman to walk in space, is now also the first woman to reach the deepest point of the ocean.

Natalie Uomini, a cognitive scientist at the Max Planck Institute for the Science of Human History, published research on why corvids are so smart.

In these trying times, the world could use more researchers like Shi Zhengli, a virologist who researches SARS-like coronaviruses of bat origin. Read about her work here.

Free Online Air Source Heat Pump Technician Workshop

Heat and Cool Your Building with
Air Source Heat Pumps
An air-source heat pump can provide efficient heating and cooling for homes in New York City delivering one-and-a-half to three times more heat energy to a home than the electrical energy it consumes. This is possible because a heat pump moves heat rather than converting it from a fuel like combustion heating systems do. In recent years, air-source heat pump technology has advanced so that it now offers a legitimate space heating alternative in colder regions.

Like any HVAC system, maintenance is key, and ASHP annual maintenance offers a chance for you to grow your business while contributing to NY State’s carbon reduction goals.

At this 7-hour workshop, dive in to the best practices for ASHP maintenance with Nicolas Salcedo and learn about the skills need to work as an Air Source Heat Pump Technician.

The HeatSMART campaign, sponsored by Brooklyn Borough President Eric Adams and New York Energy Research and Development Agency, provides information about heating and cooling options to homeowners, property managers, and contractors.

Project Delivery Fundamentals

Understanding the differences in project delivery methods is the foundation of good project delivery. The delivery method establishes when parties become engaged; it influences the choices of contractual relationships; and it influences ownership and impact of changes and modification of project costs. It is important to choose a delivery method that best meets the unique needs of each project. This course introduces you to commonly used project delivery methods along with their pros and cons.
