Artificial intelligence (AI) is in the news so much these days, I thought I’d help us all take a step back to discover, or finally understand, some of the basics. What it can do; what it can’t. Towards that end, my “special feature” this week includes some different perspectives on AI basics. And, of course, I couldn’t omit what the inimitable Seth Godin has to say (below).

Can you believe it’s already September? Depending on where you live, you may or may not be getting that nice refreshing air September often brings. After a hot summer, I’m ready for that. September also brings us to the start of the busiest time of the year for nonprofit organizations, especially if you’re doing a year-end appeal. Even though you may not launch your campaign until later in the fall , you should get started on your appeal letter now.

As we know, capital campaigns are HUGE opportunities for nonprofits. They can help expand mission impact, reach more people, and create lasting change. But success isn't just about having a great cause and being financially prepared. Your organization's image also matters. It actually matters a lot to major donors because they will be entrusting their gifts to your organization.

In the 2021-22 school year, only one in three fourth graders in the United States was reading at grade level, only one in four eighth graders was proficient in math, and rates of chronic absence had skyrocketed. These trends, highlighted in the Annie E. Casey Foundation’s annual KIDS COUNT Data Book , are alarming: Too few children are graduating from high school ready to earn because many aren’t arriving ready to learn—or not regularly attending school at all.

Just got this piece in the mail from the ACLU : We are not a recent donors to the ACLU, so this is donor acquisition. And I’m quite sure I’ve seen this before a number of times, but with a key difference: It has been a “normal” envelope color, a light brown we usually call manila. Now it’s shockingly, almost sickeningly, bright green!

It goes without saying that the biggest high of the entire IDEA Grant process was receiving the award itself. By the time the IDEA Grant application was due in February 2024, I was already into the prospectus semester of my honors in the major project – which is what the grant funded – and I had to balance writing a full prospectus draft alongside this application.

The fastest road to burnout is overloading your staff. Boards, elected officials, executive directors, and other leaders must understand the capacity of time and resources necessary to develop and manage grant proposals. It is not a solo sport. So before chasing the dollars, ensure the right people with the right skills are on your agency’s grants team to ensure success and longevity of your grant funded programs.

Overall, I can’t wait to present my findings to the public and other researchers because I am planning on moving labs after the summer. I love the lab that I am currently in, I’ve attached a picture below, but our primary focus is on inorganic physical chemistry. Though this is a very interesting topic, I am a biochemistry major and would like to move to a lab that has more of my interests.

Hello! As the President’s Showcase gets closer, I am looking forward to presenting my work on this project in the same place that it started. When I first began as a UROP student, I was completely unfamiliar with soils and environmental science. I struggled to understand the context of the results I would obtain, and the importance of the systems we were focusing on.

As summer is coming to an end, I am excited to begin preparing for my poster presentation at the President’s Showcase in October. This will not be my first time presenting a poster on my project; last spring, I had the opportunity to talk about my work at the CS Expo hosted by the Department of Computer Science at FSU. This experience allowed me to present my research to an audience well-versed in the technical aspects of computer science.

Considering my topic, creating a poster to represent my research will likely prove challenging. With there being few tasteful imagery online to suit my piece, I will be using the next month or so to illustrate my own graphics. Still, the process of parsing out what sort of imagery may be acceptable presents its own obstacles. With my project’s title, I feel as though I might already be battling preconceived notions of the sort of women who openly discuss sexuality in an academic setting.
