UBC Advanced Research Computing (ARC) invites you to a webinar workshop! They offer tools that are useful to many IRES researchers, even those that don’t identify as High Performance Computing users. If your research involves computationally intensive tasks, you could benefit from using and consulting with ARC.

On June 29th at 12pm, join us for:

• A general introduction to ARC services
• Explanation of specific services like: commercial cloud computing, REDcap & research data management
• Q&A with ARC – send in requests for walk-throughs or other specific questions to nivretta.thatra@ubc.ca!

IRES students in RES 510, led by Dr. Leila Harris and in collaboration with the UBC SEEDS (Social Ecological Economic Development Studies) Sustainability Program, designed and conducted applied research to promote sustainable practices on campus. 

They’ve summarized their findings in four videos. Check them out!

Smell Vancouver — a project by Dr. Amanda Giang and colleagues — is pleased to share their inaugural "Monthly Sniff"!

This is actually a 6-month sniff (a deep inhale?). Log the smells you encounter around our city and let the team know what you think of their first Sniff!
