More Classes Added and Deadline Extended
Many administrators have not started the required Research Administration at the U (RAU) curriculum. In an effort to allow research administrators to successfully complete it, we have added additional classes and extended the deadline date to complete the mandatory program. The deadline date has been extended to August 31, 2023. These measures will allow individuals who have not started the curriculum to complete the program and maintain their system statuses. As I am sure you already know, new and current staff in a research administration role are required to complete the mandatory training courses of the RAU curriculum. Non-compliance will lead to loss of system access to IBISResearch, Workday Grants and other research-related systems.
Upon completion of the RAU curriculum participants will have a better understanding of research administration at the University of Miami and the tools to better manage day-to-day work tasks more effectively. In addition, participants will gain a better understanding of how their work affects compliance, reporting and the entire research enterprise at the University of Miami.

Monday, January 23, 12:00 p.m. - 1:00 p.m.
The University of Miami has a long track record in studying ethics and information technology. This special event links the Institute for Data Science and Computing (IDSC), the University's new Department of Writing Studies, and the UM Ethics Programs on a panel to address challenges related to the explosive interest in—and use of—Artificial Intelligence programs that generate text and computer code.
A multidisciplinary expert panel will review (i) concerns about using computers to write assignments, (ii) credible and interesting uses of text-generation programs, and (iii) options for institutional responses and policies to address these issues. This is a hybrid event hosted by Nicholas Tsinoremas, PhD, Director, IDSC; Kenneth W. Goodman, PhD, FACMI, FACE, Director, IDSC Data Ethics + Society; and Joanna Johnson, PhD, Assoc. Professor, Department of Writing Studies. This event is free and open to the public. No registration required.
Location: Richter Library, 3rd Floor Conference Room #343 or join via Zoom.

Wednesday, January 25, 1:00 p.m. - 2:00 p.m.
Cell metabolism dictates cell function, so measurement of oxygen consumption enables investigation of mitochondrial function in various diseased states and in other biological phenomenon like aging. Moreover, with over 20,000 genes, 200,000 proteins and thousands of pathways, you cannot measure everything in a cell at once, but you can measure the energy that drives them.
The Agilent Seahorse Extracellular Flux (XF) Analyzer provides understanding of the metabolic processes that influence health and disease. This technology offers functional assays that report on activity in real time from living cells of the two major cell energy pathways: mitochondrial respiration and glycolysis. High throughput, non-invasive standardized Seahorse assays permit quantitation of physiological changes in cellular energy production that are often determined by cell responses to disease. The XF technology also allows detection of discrete changes in cellular bioenergetics in real-time. Real-time cell measurements provide a window into critical functions driving cell signaling, proliferation, activation, toxicity and biosynthesis. The Agilent Seahorse platform is available through the Sylvester Molecular Therapeutics Shared Resource.
Speakers:
Manish Bharadwaj, Ph.D.
Application Scientist
Agilent Technologies
Surinder Kumar, Ph.D.
Assistant Professor of Pathology
University of Miami Miller School of Medicine
Due to a change in a speaker's travel schedule, this seminar will not be given onsite and will be ONLY online. A recording of the presentation will be shared with everyone that registers for the seminar.

Friday, January 27, 12:00 p.m. - 1:00 p.m.
Scientists often have reason to reuse content from previous papers in their new ones: descriptions of methods, background material, theoretical frameworks, and so on. Some uses of text recycling are widely considered appropriate; others are universally condemned. Given the variety of ways in which scientists might recycle text, they are often unsure about what is and isn't ethical or even legal. This presentation will review the ethical and legal complexities of text recycling in research writing, present a new taxonomy of text recycling, and explain best practices for recycling material across a range of research contexts.
Dr. Moskovitz has served as Director of Writing in the Disciplines in the Thompson Writing Program at Duke University since 2005. He holds a PhD in aerospace engineering from North Carolina State University and a Masters of Architecture from Virginia Tech. He is director of the NSF-funded Text Recycling Research Project. His articles and essays related to writing pedagogy and text recycling have appeared in The Chronicle of Higher Education, Science, Research Integrity and Peer Review, Bioscience, Science and Engineering Ethics, and the Journal of College Science Teaching.
