CS student Blossom Metevier panelist at CSEdWeek discussion, Fueling the Future

UMBC Sophomore Blossom Metevier (CS ‘15) will be a panelist at Fueling the Future: Celebrating Computer Science Education Week and Computer Science in K-12 Classrooms and Policy, a briefing in Capitol Hill that’s part of Computer Science Education Week (CSEdWeek). Ceremonially celebrated during the birthday week of computer science pioneer Grace Hopper (December 9-15), CSEdWeek's goal is to share the message that computing and computer science education are essential.

Organized by the Computing in the Core Coalition and sponsored by the congressional STEM Education Caucus, Fueling the Future will give congressional staff and STEM education stakeholders an overview of the state and prospects of K-12 computer science education. Specifically, the fact that Computer Science is not taught in the majority of American high schools and how that needs to change.

Blossom joins panelists CSEdWEek co-chair Ruthe Farmer, Director of Strategic Initiates for the National Center for Women and Information Technology, technology writer Douglas Rushkoff, Alison Derbenwick Miller from Oracle, and Brenda Wilkerson from the Chicago Public Schools. Representative Dan Lipinski (D- IL), co-chair of the House STEM Education Caucus, will kick off the event with opening remarks.

Blossom will share her journey to becoming a Computer Science major. It started after she unexpectedly fell in love with programming during her Introduction to Computer Science class during her freshman year at UMBC. She will talk about why she chose the major and her future goals in the field. A Meyerhoff Scholar and member of UMBC's track team, Blossom plans on doing data visualization research in Dr. Jian Chen's lab this winter.

The new UMBC Cyber Scholars Program is seeking applicants. Incoming Freshman for the Fall 2013 school year, current students, and transfer students interested in careers in cybersecurity are encouraged to apply by January 15, 2013.

Starting Fall 2013, the Scholarship program will support 15-20 students annually with financial awards of $5,000-15,000 per year. The scholarship is more than a financial award; it is a scholarship program that fosters a community through common on-campus living-learning housing, events, and activities. Cyber Scholars will learn from and support one another throughout their college careers, and from core interaction with UMBC faculty and mentors.

Every Cyber scholar is assigned a faculty advisor who is pursuing cybersecurity-related research of their own. Advisors will help students find research and internship opportunities best suited to them.

Are you thinking about graduate school in this field?

This great summer opportunity is for you! Be a part of this exciting state-of-the-art research experience.

What is modeling and simulation of biological networks?

Molecular biology has undergone a dramatic revolution during the second half of the twentieth century, beginning with the discovery of the structure of DNA. Since then a series of technological advances has given experimentalists the ability to make ever-more detailed measurements of an increasing number of molecular components of the cell. DNA microarrays, for instance, are small silicon chips spotted with short segments of DNA that can be used to measure the activity levels of thousands of different genes in tissue samples simultaneously.

2008 Lecture Soon it might be possible to make large-scale quantitative measurements in a single cell. Being able to take such global snapshots of molecular processes has opened up the possibility of studying the changes that are constantly going on in cells as a coherent dynamical system with intricately interacting parts, rather than studying the parts in isolation. Similar developments in other fields of biology have revolutionized the availability of system wide data. Thus, the new field of systems biology has emerged. It makes heavy use of mathematical tools for modeling and simulation. ]]> Are you a student majoring in a mathematical or computational science, interested in biomathematics?
