NSF's Large Facility Workshop, a focus on communications</h3>
<p style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; margin-top: 10px;"></p>
<center><img width="400" height="300" style="user-select: none;" src="https://www.designsafe-ci.org/media/filer_public_thumbnails/filer_public/a8/31/a83152f5-57e4-4b6d-9316-acef5bac7a2b/lfw-spuck-1.jpg__1200x900_q85_subsampling-2.jpg"></center>
<p style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; margin-top: 10px;"></p>
<p style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; margin-top: 10px;">The National Science Foundation held its annual <a href="https://www.largefacilitiesworkshop.com/19workshop/" target="_blank">Large Facilities Workshop</a> April 2-4, in Austin, TX,
at the Texas Advanced Computing Center (TACC). The location allowed for tours of the visualization and supercomputer resources available to NHERI’s DesignSafe-CI and a demonstration of NHERI’s Large-Scale Mobile Shaker truck.</p>
<p style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; margin-top: 10px;">During the session on social media, Dr. Cheryl Ann Blain, communications lead for the NHERI Network Coordination Office, reported on the network’s progress in ramping up the social
media presence of the 10-facility network. (Be sure to see the <a href="https://www.designsafe-ci.org/community/social-media/" target="_blank">current repository of social media handles for the NHERI network</a> on the DesignSafe website.) The session led
to engaging discussions among LF communication personnel, who shared <a href="https://www.designsafe-ci.org/community/news/2019/april/nsf-large-facility-workshop-new-focus-communications/" target="_blank">successful strategies and novel ideas</a> for engaging
the public and underserved communities via social media.</p>
<p style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; margin-top: 10px;">Officers from the <a href="https://www.nsf.gov/od/lpa/" target="_blank">NSF Office of Legislative and Public Affairs</a> highlighted their group’s role in magnifying scientific accomplishments,
human interest stories, compelling videos and other content. In fact, NSF has announced that July 2019 will be Natural Hazards Month. This is a huge opportunity for NHERI to publicize what we do and what we have accomplished.</p>
<p style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; margin-top: 10px;">Currently, the NSF communications team is developing a video showcasing NHERI’s accomplishments, which will be disseminated during the month of July. To leverage this great opportunity,
the NHERI NCO is working with NHERI facilities to collect and create compelling video materials.</p>
<p style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; margin-top: 10px;">If you or your NHERI facility has important science to share with the world, especially in video format, be sure to contact Cheryl Ann Blain (<a href="mailto:cheryl.ann.blain@nrlssc.navy.mil" target="_blank">cheryl.ann.blain@nrlssc.navy.mil</a>)

SimCenter report: essential simulations</h3>
<p style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; margin-top: 10px;"></p>
<center><img width="400" height="170" style="user-select: none;" src="https://www.designsafe-ci.org/media/filer_public_thumbnails/filer_public/05/ee/05ee15bf-8d9c-419e-b708-882c9172cf14/ds-report-image.png__1935x820_q85_subsampling-2.jpg"></center>
<p style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; margin-top: 10px;"></p>
<p style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; margin-top: 10px;">The UC Berkeley-based NHERI SimCenter recently released a comprehensive report on simulation requirements and software tools for natural hazards engineering of the built environment.</p>
<p style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; margin-top: 10px;">The report, entitled "<a href="https://simcenter.designsafe-ci.org/media/filer_public/13/b5/13b5ba3e-f94a-48af-9d12-ca5d0abad5c1/state_of_art_report.pdf" target="_blank">State-of-the-Art
in Computational Simulation for Natural Hazards Engineering</a>," provides an in-depth discussion of simulations essential for addressing the three grand challenge areas and associated research questions outlined in the <a href="https://www.designsafe-ci.org/facilities/nco/science-plan/" target="_blank">NHERI
Science Plan</a>:</p>
<ol>
<li style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;">Quantifying natural hazards and their effects on civil infrastructure;</li><li style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;">Evaluating the vulnerability of civil infrastructure and social vulnerability of populations in at risk communities; and</li><li style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;">The creation of technologies and tools to design and implement measures to promote resilience to natural hazards.</li></ol>
<p style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; margin-top: 10px;">Accordingly, required simulation technologies encompass a broad range of phenomena and considerations, from characterization and simulation of natural hazards and their damaging effects
on buildings and civil infrastructure, to quantifying the resulting economic losses, disruption and other consequences on society.</p>

NHERI's International Workshop, March 2019</h3>
<p style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; margin-top: 10px;"></p>
<center><img width="400" height="200" style="user-select: none;" src="https://www.designsafe-ci.org/media/filer_public_thumbnails/filer_public/e1/c4/e1c47ef4-5d2a-4357-a42f-a1c4ce7b155e/science_plan_workshop_2019_session_news.jpg__1000x500_q85_subsampling-2.jpg"></center>

<p style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; margin-top: 10px;">At NHERI’s spring international workshop, participants gathered in interdisciplinary teams, discussed disruptive technologies and developed research campaigns to advance the NHERI
5-Year Science Plan.</p>
<p style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; margin-top: 10px;">On March 18-19, the NHERI NCO hosted an <a href="https://www.nsf.gov/awardsearch/showAward?AWD_ID=1612144&HistoricalAwards=false" target="_blank">NSF-sponsored</a> workshop in Alexandria,
VA, involving more than 70 participants. The workshop included collaboration with early career, interdisciplinary and international researchers that brought opportunities for collaborations. The workshop covered transformational technologies such as bio-inspired
design, advanced computation, data science, materials science, additive manufacturing, robotics, and control theory to help achieve the NHERI Science Plan’s vision of a more resilient and sustainable civil infrastructure.</p>
<p style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; margin-top: 10px;">The workshop had two main objectives:</p>
<ol>
<li style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;">Identify the contributions from disruptive/transformational technologies to the NHERI Science Plan to achieve the vision of NHERI; and</li><li style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;">Elucidate potential research campaigns encompassing one or all of the hazards under the scope of NHERI.</li></ol>
<p style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; margin-top: 10px;">A report, and presentations from the workshop, will made available soon on the DesignSafe-CI website. Please stay tuned!</p>
