The Research Office, Division of Outreach and Engagement, and the Center for Research on Lifelong STEM Learning are now launching the OSU Research Impacts Network (ORIN). The goal of the network is to improve processes, communication, and accessibility related to existing tools for developing high quality research impacts that benefit society (often referred to as “broader impacts”).
What’s important and valuable to know about broader impacts and this network, and how will it benefit you?
Nick Houtman and Naomi Hirsch will facilitate the first 30-minute discussion.
Julie Risien, Associate Director for the Center for Research on Lifelong STEM Learning, serves as the faculty lead for the ORIN network. She will be there for the final 30 minutes to answer questions and add more information.
Questions for Discussion
What are Broader Impacts? (link on image below for more information)
What are current examples of OSU faculty fulfilling the broader impacts requirement?
How do science communicators fit in?
What creative resources exist at OSU to reach broader impact goals?

Crowdfunding: Creating new possibilities for science
Tuesday, April 21, 2015
12 noon – 1 pm
LPSC 402 flyer to post
Curious about crowdfunding? Come and learn all about it, get your questions answered, and contribute to the conversation.
Lacie LaRue from the OSU Foundation will share about the Create Oregon State crowdfunding site that the Foundation manages.
Joey Hulbert, OSU Alum, will speak about his recent experience crowdfunding on Experiment.com. He will compare the site to other platforms for crowdfunding scientific research. Joey will share tips for launching a campaign as well as advice to be successful. He will also share about his public engagement experiences in the Willamette Valley.
Should scientists withhold some evidence to avoid alarming the public? Who decides?
We will have conversations related to the connection between science as a journal article and as a media story.
Please bring an example to share (if you have one) of a science story in the media that either avoided the pitfalls of over-dramatization or fell headlong into the snake pit.
Share the brown-bag with colleagues who you feel could add to the discussion or need assistance.
