Apply now for this spring’s Michigan Tech Faculty DC Trip, a long-standing tradition of connecting researchers to funding agencies and other collaboration opportunities in the nation’s capital city.

New This Year: The Research Development office is helping to plan research theme-focused trips while keeping many of the programmatic staples. With focused trips, we are expecting to have two to three smaller trips per year. This spring, we plan that the trip will have a health-related research focus. The fall 2024 trip will have an environment/ecology focus. Spring 2025 will be an open or “general” interest focus. This relaunch allows us to adapt the timing to weeks that work best for those interested in going. We look forward to working with potential participants on the logistics of pulling together an impactful experience.

Applications: For the 2024 DC Trip, we request all who are interested, even if you are unsure, to complete a short application. The application is a nonbinding submission that helps us understand the distribution of interested researchers from across Michigan Tech’s campus. You’ll notice that the new interest form gives several weeks for you to give input. We will have a small group of reviewers look at the applications, which will inform the distribution of cost-share from the colleges and VPR. We ask that interested researchers apply by completing the application.

Timeline:

• Saturday, Feb. 10 — Complete the application (by 11:59 p.m. ET).
• Saturday, Feb. 17 — Reviews completed and we will inform those who will receive cost-share for the DC Trip. (Regardless of cost-share distribution, we will continue to communicate with those who completed an application on the developments of the DC Trip. Those who do not receive cost-share support are encouraged to join us as well.)
• TBD — “Running through the trip” session (usually happens the week before the trip, but we will find a date/time that works for the majority of DC Trip attendees).
• TBD — Core dates (planned group activities) for the DC Trip. Researchers are encouraged to add days on either side of the core days for individual meetings, connections and activities. The dates will be selected based on input from the applications received.

If you have any interest at all in the 2024 DC Trip, please fill out the short application form. We will be limiting all communications about the DC Trip to those who fill out the form.

The DC Trip website will continue to be updated.

The RD team is looking forward to working with you!

Aimee Marceau, research scientist and genomic surveillance facility lead, Michigan Technological University, will present as part of the Department of Biological Sciences (BioSci) Seminar Series on Thursday (Feb. 1) from 3-4 p.m. in GLRC 202.

Marceau will present "Tick Talk - Using MTU’s Genomic Sequencing Lab to Understand Tick-Borne Pathogen Prevalence in the Copper Country."

From the abstract:
MTU’s Genomic Sequencing lab was developed and funded to monitor and track zoonotic and human pathogens. The primary objective of the lab was to sequence COVID variants. However, as COVID infections decreased, the lab changed focus to tracking tick borne pathogens. The Upper Peninsula is at the expanding edge of tick borne pathogens, but data covering the extent of this expansion remains sparse. To increase the number of tick samples and test for the presence of tick-borne pathogens more effectively in the local population, the Genomic Sequencing lab developed a crowdsourced tick collection effort. The lab collected and tested over 900 ticks and found a high prevalence of pathogens in the local tick populations. This effort was only made possible by the availability of state-of-the-art high-throughput sequencing equipment in MTU’s Genomic Sequencing lab. This equipment and the expertise of the laboratory staff are available for general use by campus researchers.

The editors of the American Chemical Society (ACS) will be presenting at this week's Chemistry Seminar, which will be held virtually from 3-4 p.m. Friday (Feb. 2) via Zoom (use password 276760).

The ACS editors presenting the seminar are:

• Prashant V. Kamat, John A. Zahm Professor of Science at Notre Dame University
• Raymond E. Schaak, DuPont Professor of Materials Chemistry at Penn State University
• Jillian M. Buriak, Professor and Canada Research Chair at the University of Alberta

Their presentation is titled “Composing an Effective and Interesting Scientific Paper: A Balanced Combination of Science, Data, Ethics, and a Story.”

From the abstract:
Sharing scientific knowledge through publications is an integral part of a career in research. Since more and more organizations evaluate scientific productivity by scholarly publication rates, the impact of published work becomes an important issue. New researchers face the challenge of mastering the art of scientific publication to draw attention to their new scientific findings. Whether or not we want to describe science in such terms, scientific publishing is competitive in nature, and thus early career scientists must compete with their more experienced peers for recognition. While the electronic age has made the publication process easier and more efficient, optimizing the structure of a scientific paper requires a certain degree of learned skill and proficiency. It is important to realize that a well-composed manuscript with a compelling scientific story that can appeal to the journal’s readership, and your peers, will see a higher rate of success. There is no greater compliment to one’s hard work than seeing it cited, reproduced, and discussed.

The three of us are longstanding editors at ACS Publications, and have handled many thousands of manuscripts. Our lecture will address the following questions:

• What are the key steps that are necessary to compose an effective paper?
• What is involved in submitting a manuscript and how is it handled by the journal once submitted?
• How to respond to reviewers’ comments?
• What is self-plagiarism, and when/how can you reuse your own text, figures, data?
• What about ChatGPT and other LLM/AI bots? Can they be used, and how?

Presenter bios:

Kamat is the John A. Zahm Professor of Science at Notre Dame University, and has been an editor at ACS Publications since 2003 (associate editor at J, Phys. Chem., deputy and founding editor of JPC Letters, and founding editor-in-chief of ACS Energy Letters).

Schaak is the DuPont Professor of Materials Chemistry at Penn State University. He has been an editor at ACS Publications since 2010 (associate editor at ACS Nano and founding deputy editor of ACS Nanoscience Au).

Buriak is the Canada Research Chair at the University of Alberta, and has been an editor at ACS Publications since 2009 (associate editor at ACS Nano, editor-in-chief of Chemistry of Materials, executive editor of ACS Nano).

The Michigan Tech hockey team split their CCHA series at Lake Superior State University over the weekend.

Michigan Tech fell 3-1 to the Lakers on Friday (Jan. 26). Isaac Gordon scored the lone goal for the Huskies.

"I thought Lake State played a good game," Tech coach Joe Shawhan said. "They're a beat-up team that played hard tonight. We gave up a goal after tying it and that seems like our M.O. this season. I didn't think we competed as hard as you need to have success in this league."

The Huskies earned a CCHA weekend split on Saturday (Jan. 27) with a 1-0 shutout of the Lakers. Blake Pietila earned his 21st career shutout with 26 saves, and Ryland Mosley scored the game's lone goal.

"I'm very happy with the win and proud of the guys for how hard they competed," Shawhan said. "Lake State is a good team. They're big and compete all game, and pushed especially hard after we scored. We got a great goaltending performance out of Blake, and hopefully, we can grow off of this win."

The Michigan Tech women's basketball team used a strong first half to outlast Northern Michigan 71-58 inside the Berry Events Center on Saturday (Jan. 27).

The Huskies once again produced a well-rounded attack, with Katelyn Meister leading the way with 16 points. Sara Dax is now officially on 1,000-career-point watch, with her 14-point outing bringing her to 995 points. Isabella Lenz added 13 points and Alex Rondorf scored 10, both reaching double-figures. Meister and Rondorf also grabbed a team-high eight boards.

"I was super proud of our team and the way we came out," head coach Sam Clayton said. "Emma (Anderson) and Sara hitting those 3s early was the biggest key to the game early, and that opened up the paint for everyone else, which was a huge difference. The offense was clicking, but more importantly, our defense was great from start to finish. We made them earn it and I'm super proud of this team."

The Michigan Tech men's basketball team couldn't overcome a high shooting outing from Northern Michigan, falling 98-66 inside the Berry Events Center on Saturday (Jan. 27).

Marcus Tomashek led the Huskies offensively with 18 points and Dawson Nordgaard recorded a team-high six rebounds to go with 14 points. Pete Calcaterra and Dan Gherezgher also added 10 points apiece.

"I thought as a whole, our offense was a little better. We didn't make any shots, but I thought we took good shots," head coach Josh Buettner said. "Obviously a kid like (NMU's) Max (Weisbrod) goes crazy. Offensively, I felt like we moved the ball and got good enough shots. The days they don't go in, we need to rely on defense — and we didn't have it today."

Weisbrod scored 35 points for the Wildcats in the contest.

The Michigan Tech Nordic ski teams continue to trend upward, winning their first overall CCSA team title to cap the regular season at the Ariens CCSA Invite on Saturday and Sunday (Jan. 27 and 28).

"We are so psyched for the team to take away our first overall team title this weekend," said head coach Tom Monahan Smith. "If there was one weekend for us to do it, this would be the weekend."

In Saturday's skate race, the Huskies swept the podium in the women's race, with Anabel Needham, Synne Herheim and Olivia Laven finishing 1-2-3. In the men's skate race, Henry Snider and Skylar Patten led the way, finishing second and third, respectively.

Sunday's mixed-gender relay saw Tech's Marie Sølverud Wangen and Jasper Johnston take silver, finishing 15 seconds ahead of the third-place team. The Huskies' next relay team to finish was Axel Aflodal and Greta Hansen, who took fifth place by less than a second, and Patten and Herheim in seventh.
