Join the Maryland Student Legislature Today!
Network with Young Activists and Aspiring Policy-Makers
The Political Science department is launching a new Chapter of the Maryland Student
Legislature (MSL) starting this fall. MSL brings together delegations of students from campuses
across the state in a simulation of the Maryland General Assembly.
Throughout the school year,
students work with their campus delegation and attend training sessions with college students
from around the state to develop legislation and prepare to debate it at a mock weekend
session held each spring in the real General Assembly chambers in Annapolis.
Participating
students learn how to write original legislation, learn parliamentary procedure, and hone their
speech, debate, and political skills gaining in-depth knowledge of the Maryland General
Assembly and real-world experience working within the legislative process! Students will have
the opportunity to network with other young activists and aspiring policy-makers, learning skills
that prepare them for careers in public service. They also receive invitations to a speaker series
featuring state elected officials.
The 33rd Annual Session will be held in-person in the State House from April 29-May 1, 2022.
Members of UMBC’s MSL delegation can earn academic credit for their participation by
enrolling in POLI 341, a one-credit course (repeatable for four semesters). s. . To learn more
about the Maryland Student Legislature, please visit msl.org. For reference, attached are
previous years’ MSL course syllabi.
Several years ago, UMBC won MSL’s best delegation award. The Political Science Council of
Majors now highly urges students to get involved and start-up the delegation once more.
Currently, the organization is in its beginning stages and we need a critical mass of invested
students to launch the chapter. Please reach out to Dr. Laura Hussey (
lhussey@umbc.edu)
and Rehman Liaqat (
rliaqat1@umbc.edu) if interested or for any further questions.

The recent IPCC assessment report, with a focus on the role of clouds and aerosols
Prof. Dr. Johannes Quaas
Theoretical Meteorology, University of Leipzig.
Abstract: The presentation will first provide some background on the IPCC process and summarize the headline conclusions of the report by Working Group I ("The Physical Science Basis") of the IPCC. It will show in some more detail the assessment of the Changing State of the Climate System (Chapter 2). In the second part, it will focus on the role of clouds and aerosols in climate change and present the key conclusions on this aspect. The effective forcing due to aerosols is now revised and better confined, and the cloud feedbacks are now assessed to be clearly of positive sign. The overall effective forcing well explains the observed climate change.
Dr. Johannes Quaas is University Professor for Theoretical Meteorology at Leipzig University (Germany). Previously he worked at three major climate modelling centres in Europe (Laboratoire de Météorologie Dynamique, Paris, France; Met Office Hadley Centre, Exeter, UK; Max Planck Institute for Meteorology, Hamburg, Germany). His expertise is in the role of clouds in climate change, in particular the impact on clouds by anthropogenic aerosols. He works with atmospheric models but also satellite observations. Johannes was Lead author in the 6th Assessment Report by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change.

***Repost from OSP***
NSF will be offering a free webinar to go over updates to the NSF Proposal and Award Policies. The Webinar is scheduled for Tuesday September 21, 2021 from 2:00 to 3:00 EST.
The Webinar will provide an overview of significant changes and clarifications to the PAPPG that will take effect on October 4, 2021. The PAPPG Webinar details NSF's proposal preparation and submission guidelines and provides guidance on managing and monitoring the award and administration of grants and cooperative agreements made by the Foundation.
If you have any questions regarding this you may contact your Grants Manager or Specialist. You may also submit questions directly to NSF prior to the webinar at
grants_conference@nsf.govUndergraduate Data Science Scholars –
Call for Applications
Have you worked with social, behavioral, economic or geographic data?
Are you interested in how to extract useful knowledge from data?
The Center for Social Science Scholarship (CS3) is partnering with the UMBC Department of Information Systems to establish the UMBC Undergraduate Data Science Scholars Program (DSS) in Fall 2021. Students admitted to the program will work as teaching fellows and peer mentors. They will also network with UC Berkeley data science students, attend special events, and be mentored by faculty. The DSS program welcomes undergraduate scholars from multiple disciplines, including the social sciences, looking at all aspects of data and its impact on society.
Responsibilities:
• Scholars will work as TFs and peer mentors for undergraduate students in IS296 Foundations of Data Science. The class meets Tu/Th 1:00-2:15pm. The cohort of DSS scholars will meet as a group with the IS296 instructor. Scholars will be paid $15/hour for specific TF tasks, for 5-10 hours per week in fall 2021.
• Social science DSS scholars will attend at least two CS3 events in fall 2021 and/or participate in CS3 research initiatives. The scholars will also be expected to attend one mentoring meeting with CS3 faculty.
Background and skills:
Applicants should have knowledge in at least one of the following:
• Analysis of social, behavioral, economic or geographic data
• Python or one of the data science tools and/or languages (such as Rapid Miner, Weka, Orange, Knime, ML on cloud computing, python)
• Jupyter notebooks with python or taken IS 296 in a prior semester.
Interested students should send a resume and a brief one or two sentence statement of interest to socialscience@umbc.eduby 9/8/21. Please put “CS3 Data Science Scholars” in the subject line of the email.
While CS3 will run the admission and mentoring of the social science cohort of DSS, the Department of Information Systems is also partnering with the Center for Women in Technology to run another cohort.
