Sonoma State University (SSU) will create a series of four “Live from the Field” (LFTF) events that target OCELOTS objectives. Working with OCELOTS, CEI will modify the existing TVF LFTF format to increase engagement in OCELOTS modules of MSI instructors and students. SSU will additionally update an existing student survey to better incorporate OCELOT learning goals. The survey will be designed to allow faculty to use the survey independently to assess the impacts of the experience on their students.

The California Mathematics Project: North Coast (CMP:NC) is one of 19 sites of a statewide network of University-based professional learning providers.  As a collaboration between SSU's Department of Mathematics and Statistics and School of Education and the Sonoma County Office of Education, CMP:NC has provided extended, multi-year professional learning opportunities to K-12 mathematics teachers from Marin County to the Oregon border since its founding in 1999.

This is a supplement to Dr. Miller Bordisso's direct award from U.S. Department of Energy.

The services provide Caltrans with information crucial to the management and stewardship of resources under its ownership and control.

The objective of this proposed effort is to determine the metabolic and immune system costs to chronic stress in the bottlenose dolphin. To this end, metabolic hormones and immune function markers are to be measured in concert with experimental manipulations of circulating cortisol and metabolic rate measurements. Dr. Daniel Crocker will provide the laboratory facilities to be used for most hormone and immune system marker. Dr. Crocker will also oversee the laboratory analyses and participate in data analyses and manuscript preparation.

Across a three-year program, we will develop, evaluate and disseminate two educational modules designed to be infused into STEM professional development/ethics courses. Drawing from social psychology research on gender bias and sexual harassment in STEM,  the modules’ objective is to expand traditional ethics training beyond ethical research practices to encompass ethical behavior among fellow researchers. Modules will be piloted at SSU and then disseminated using STEM-Net to other CSU campuses with an eventual goal of nationwide dissemination.

An integrated Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) with multiple sensor capability and a carbon coater for sample preparation will be acquired at Sonoma State University (SSU).
