questions about their goals at the SuccessConnects Orientation in the

Engineering
Prof.
Nancy
Love, along with four other
University
researchers,
will kickstart the project by
installing
special
waterless
urinals and “source-separating”
flush toilets in the George
Granger
Brown
Memorial
Laboratories on North Campus
to direct all urine to a holding
tank. The urine will eventually
be used as fertilizer in the
Matthaei Botanical Gardens.
Love
was
unavailable
for
immediate comment.
The
next
largest
grant,
$2,699,839, will be awarded to
the project called “Organizing
to
Learn
Practice:
Teacher
Learning in Classroom-Focused
Professional
Development,”
headed by Education Lecturer
Meghan Shaughnessy.
“We’re studying how teachers
learn from opportunities to
watch teaching,” said Deborah
Ball, former dean of the School
of
Education.
“And
we’re
studying all kinds of different
conditions that will allow us to
learn more about which formats
will work best to help teachers
learn to improve their teaching
of math.”
Ball outlined the vast array
of costs the grant will cover,
such as the cost of supplies, the
wages of research assistants
and tuition support for graduate
students.
The last award, $2,362,392,
will be granted to Engineering
Prof. Dawn Tilbury and her team
at the “Collaborative Research:
Software Defined Control for
Smart Manufacturing Systems”
project.
“Our
new
project
has
the
potential
to
increase
manufacturing
productivity,
which can increase profits
for
manufacturers
while
decreasing
costs
for
consumers,” Tilbury wrote
in an email.
Tilbury
emphasized
the role of students in the
project,
highlighting
the
potential for involvement by
undergraduates,
graduates
and postdoctoral fellows.
However, she also pointed
out that with such a large
student
workforce,
the
biggest
category
in
the
budget will likely be salary
and
tuition
support
for
graduate students.
Overall,
the
NSF
supports research efforts
by students and professors
alike and acts as a source
of tremendous opportunity,
Ball said.
“NSF
is
a
great
organization; they support
basic research in science
and engineering, as well
as
helping
to
educate
the future workforce by
training
them
through
research projects.”

implausible to use the model
to attempt to predict how, for
example, a historical justice
like Louis Brandeis would
have voted on a case such as
Bush v. Gore.
While the model lacks the
ability to make hypothetical
inferences, Martin said he
believes it gives an accurate
representation
of
the
ideological
climate
of
the
court over time and allows for
a deeper conversation on the
future of the court, especially
with
a
new
confirmation
possible soon to replace Scalia.
“We
care
about
the
ideological climate, we care
about who is in the middle and
we care about how that lineup
and the coalition has evolved
over time,” Martin said.
Emphasizing
that
this
model is just a starting point,
Martin said in the future he
would like to see a similar
model produced to also fit the
ideological data available on
the U.S. Congress.
“While we love having the
model in the press and while
we love having people citing it
all the time, from a modeling
standpoint this is just step
one,” Martin said. “I hope I’ve
convinced you that this is at
least somewhat useful in some
context.”
