Hammer time

 

You bore us. If science is a “commitment to truth” shall we site all the historical non-truths perpetuated by scientists ? Of course not. It’s not science vs Philosophy ... It’s Science + Philosophy. Elevate your Thinking and Consciousness. When you measure include the measurer. https://t.co/hsZzHNwJ0M

Distinguished Dissertation Awards and Rosa Colecchio Travel Awards

Distinguished Dissertation Awards

The deadline for distinguished dissertation nominations is Friday, March 5th. The Distinguished Dissertation Award is for PhD and EdD dissertations defended and submitted to the Graduate School in each calendar year (e.g., 2015). The selection process will occur in the following spring semester (e.g., spring 2016). The Distinguished Dissertation Award recognizes original work that makes an unusually significant contribution to the discipline. Both methodological and substantive quality are judged. 

Awards are given each year in 4 broad disciplinary areas: mathematics, physical sciences, and engineering; social sciences; humanities and fine arts; and biological and life sciences. More details can be found here.

Rosa Colecchio Travel Awards

Rosa Colecchio Travel Award for Dissertation Research Enhancement applications are due by Friday, March 26th. Graduate students may apply for the Rosa Colecchio Travel Award for Dissertation Research Enhancement when travel enhances the student's dissertation work in a way that could not be accomplished otherwise. This program is funded through an endowment established through the Binghamton University Foundation by the family of Rosa Romano Colecchio. Details on the application package are here.
