Lunch in the LabAn opportunity to meet new faculty and learn about opportunities for research collaboration at UCSB.
Monday, November 4
12:00 – 1:00
SSMS 4323
RSVP here: https://forms.gle/DHMHrUz5kncShQRS7
The Office of Research is hosting lunch in the lab of Rene Weber, Professor of Communication. Rene's research focuses on the relationships between media-multitasking and attention disorders (ADHD) and on the analysis of moral narratives and moral conflict in global news and entertainment. His research group applies social scientific and neuroscientific methodology (e.g. functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging/fMRI) in studies of media effects on humans.
Weber’s lab encourages interdisciplinary collaboration among communication scholars, neuroscientists, and media professionals to build a richer understanding of shared research questions and methods.
Join Lunch in the Lab to meet new faculty at UCSB, and to learn about the application of fMRI in research at UCSB and opportunities for collaboration.
If you're interested in having Lunch in the Lab hosted in your lab, let us know here.

Commit to Submit
Research Development is now accepting applications for this year's Commit to Submit. Commit to Submit is a professional development program designed to coach Humanities, Arts, Education, and Social Sciences faculty through the process of submitting a grant proposal to a federal agency, from conception to completion. Successful grant-seeking requires understanding the priorities of funders, communicating and building relationships at agencies, and advocating for your research to audiences outside of your area of expertise. The Office of Research will provide resources – including travel to Washington, DC – to faculty members who are motivated to improve their abilities in these areas, and to pursue extramural funding. In return, selected faculty members must commit to the program of activities that will conclude with the submission of a grant proposal before July 1, 2021.
The application deadline is November 5th. Read more about program activities and to submit an application here:

Activate / Cyclotron Road Fellowships
Two-year fellowships to significantly reduce greenhouse gas emissions offer funding (including a $80K-$110K yearly stipend), world-class research laboratory access, rigorous mentorship, and a community of peers to help bring innovations to market. Fellows work across eight impact areas, aligned with our broader mission to redefine the way science serves society and sustains the planet. In each of these areas, Activate is assembling a coalition of funders, commercial partners, industry advisers, and technical experts that can help guide your project, whatever path it takes. Cyclotron Road is a program of Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, and Activate takes place at MIT Lincoln Laboratory. Applicants must have a bachelor’s degree and 4+ years post-baccalaureate scientific research, engineering, or technology development experience.
