    Creator:
    Llebot, Clara and Rempel, Hannah Gascho
    Abstract:
    Many libraries offer workshops on research topics such as data management and information organization for graduate students and faculty.

  • New insights into bacterial acquisition of phosphorus in the surface ocean

    Creator:
    White, Angelicque E.
    Abstract:
    Since 1958 when Alfred C. Redfield (1) recognized the similarity between the ratios of elements in living biomass and those dissolved in the surrounding seawater, we have understood that microorganisms largely control the concentrations, distribution, and molecular makeup of nutritional resources in the ocean. The primary elemental ingredients for life,...

  • Finding the Silver Lining... in the Serials Budget Crisis

    Creator:
    Robertshaw, M. Brooke, Willi Hooper, Michaela, and Goergen-Doll, Kerri
    Abstract:
    Most readers are familiar with (and indeed weary of) the long-running serials crisis: budgets have stagnated as the cost of serials for STEM disciplines continues to rise (Bosch & Henderson, 2016). These circumstances force libraries to cancel journals, affecting researchers’ instant access to articles. Nearly two decades ago, Mobley (1998)...

  • Amplification, Decoherence, and the Acquisition of Information by Spin Environments

    Creator:
    Zwolak, Michael, Riedel, C. Jess, and Zurek, Wojciech H.
    Abstract:
    Quantum Darwinism recognizes the role of the environment as a communication channel: Decoherence can selectively amplify information about the pointer states of a system of interest (preventing access to complementary information about their superpositions) and can make records of this information accessible to many observers. This redundancy explains the emergence...

    Creator:
    Nutefall, Jennifer E. and Ryder, Phyllis Mentzell
    Abstract:
    Faculty and librarians agree on the qualities of a good research question. However, in an exploratory study, they differed on when students should develop their research question. While librarians stated that students should develop their question early, first-year writing faculty advocated for delaying the development of the research question. The...
