NHERI network social media roster now online
[https://www.designsafe-ci.org/media/filer_public_thumbnails/filer_public/b5/18/b518bbdb-8170-4aed-9fc7-e230b91e093e/social_media_shadow.png__840x540_q85_subsampling-2.png]
More and more of the NHERI awardees and components are embracing social media! Find the roster on the DesignSafe website<https://www.designsafe-ci.org/>, under the NHERI Community menu. Or click here<https://www.designsafe-ci.org/community/social-media/> for quick access.
· Please take a moment to visit the NHERI social media page<https://www.designsafe-ci.org/community/social-media/> and follow each of our facilities.
· When posting on social media, be sure to tag @NHERIDesignSafe<https://twitter.com/NHERIDesignSafe> on Twitter and @NaturalHazardsEngineeringResearchInfrastructure<https://www.facebook.com/NaturalHazardsEngineeringResearchInfrastructure/> on Facebook. We’ll like and share your posts.
· To tag NSF on Twitter, use @NSF_ENG<https://twitter.com/nsf_eng>. And use the hashtag #NSFfunded<https://www.facebook.com/search/top/?q=%23nsffunded> wherever it’s appropriate.
Social media communications are a vital mode of publicizing our successes and works-in-progress. The goal is for all NHERI EFs, along with the SimCenter, DesignSafe, and the NCO, to use Twitter and Facebook and post updates every week. In this way, we can exponentially share our progress, and raise awareness of natural hazards engineering research.
If you have questions about creating accounts or using social media, contact Marti LaChance: nheri.communications at gmail.com<mailto:nheri.communications at gmail.com>.

Advancing the NHERI Science Plan
[https://www.designsafe-ci.org/media/filer_public_thumbnails/filer_public/15/56/15566f8e-bade-4d81-82f3-4888eed99948/wiki_katia_irma_jose_news.jpg__920x460_q85_subsampling-2.jpg]
On March 18-19, the NHERI network is hosting a special workshop in Alexandria, VA, to advance the NHERI Science Plan. A multidisciplinary, international group of invited experts will discuss ways to use traditional and disruptive technologies for building a more sustainable civil and social infrastructure.
A key workshop goal is to develop research campaigns that incorporate both traditional and non-traditional engineering modes together with social science considerations for solving problems involving windstorms, earthquakes and landslides, and tsunamis and storm surge.
Among the speakers are six early-career researchers sharing their visions for resilience and keynote talks from three notable researchers with successful approaches in astronomy, science of team-science and bio-inspired concepts.

U.S. and Japan collaborate on shake tests of three-level housing
[https://www.designsafe-ci.org/media/filer_public_thumbnails/filer_public/f5/f3/f5f3784e-87a0-49f7-b2b3-d9b33022fee5/edefense_shake_table_news.jpeg__954x477_q85_subsampling-2.jpg]
A supplement to the NCO award (#1612144<https://www.nsf.gov/awardsearch/showAward?AWD_ID=1612144&HistoricalAwards=false>) supported the participation of U.S. researchers on a February 7-8 trip to Japan’s Earthquake Defense, or E-Defense, facility for the second meeting of the research collaboration between NHERI and NIED/E-Defense.
In addition to discussing opportunities for collaboration under the Tokyo Metropolitan Resilience Project, ten participants from the U.S. observed three large-scale tests on the E-Defense shake table to evaluate the performance of residential wood construction. The E-Defense shake table in Miki City, Japan, is the world’s largest shake table.
With support from the RAPID facility, Texas A&M professor Maria Koliou and her team collected data on the two full-scale, three-story, wood-frame buildings. Koliou is the PI on NSF project #1829433<https://www.nsf.gov/awardsearch/showAward?AWD_ID=1829433&HistoricalAwards=false>, which is funded under the NHERI-NIED/E-Defense research collaboration.
Be sure to check out the dramatic shake videos on Koliou’s Twitter feed<https://twitter.com/Koliou_TAMU>. Find details on the project in this TAMU news article<https://engineering.tamu.edu/news/2018/09/CVEN-news-researchers-collaborate-on-testing-wood-resiliency-research-in-Japan-04Sept2018.html> and on Prof. Koliou’s project web page<https://nherirapidusjapan.engr.tamu.edu/>.

SimCenter seeks candidates for early career webinars
[https://pbs.twimg.com/media/DxJyqU_UUAALhuf.jpg]
The NHERI SimCenter is seeking graduate students, postdocs, and early career faculty who would like to share their simulation-based natural hazard engineering research with their peers. Webinars are anticipated to be 45 minutes in length followed by 15-30 minutes of Q&A.
This peer-to-peer webinar series is intended to provide graduate students, postdocs and early career faculty with a forum for presenting and discussing their simulation-based research in natural hazards engineering. Presentations that address using a range of software and computing resources, including SimCenter software products and DesignSafe computing resources, are welcome.
Speakers are encouraged to provide information about research motivation, research method, simulation tools employed, research results and potential impact.
Speakers are encouraged also to discuss obstacles encountered with their simulation activities and describe how these obstacles were overcome.
Candidates can be self-nominated, as well as nominated by others. Faculty members please consider nominating your students.
Click here for the NOMINATION form<https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLScdiE2T3uV4j6l1cB8WwBuM82vW3-tKT61srr-uxFLbBMmpPw/viewform?vc=0&c=0&w=1>.
Please share this news with colleagues and students who may be interested in SimCenter activities.

"I'm a windsurfer and a sailor. As a kid, I was fascinated by how the wind could be harnessed to provide power to move us forward. I'm from the Caribbean, and the winds there also can be so destructive. It made me start asking, why? We choose to build in a particular way at a particular place that makes what we love vulnerable. As a structural engineer, I can build differently. I can build to be resilient. I can build to be stronger. I can build houses to be resistant to these wind effects."

Large Facilities Workshop in Austin, TX, April 2-4
[https://www.designsafe-ci.org/media/filer_public_thumbnails/filer_public/f5/08/f50823a1-c168-41f1-acf8-8418d8607385/1024px-austin_skyline_news.jpg__1024x512_q85_subsampling-2.jpg]
Mark your calendars for the annual NSF Large Facilities Workshop<https://www.largefacilitiesworkshop.com/>, this year sponsored by the Natural Hazards Engineering Research Infrastructure<https://www.designsafe-ci.org/>, NHERI, and the Texas Advanced Computing Center, TACC. On <https://www.tacc.utexas.edu/> the agenda<https://www.largefacilitiesworkshop.com/agenda-3/> are sessions on NSF protocols for large facilities, including knowledge management and communications best practices. On Tuesday, April 2, there will be an introduction to NHERI and TACC and their capabilities for supporting natural hazards research.
An optional event on April 5 is a session on “Envisioning the Future of Facility Science and Cyberinfrastructure.” For this special event, members of the large facility and cyberinfrastructure communities highlight new data delivery and usage modes and the adoption of shared resources and analytical tools. They will demonstrate ways researchers are achieving higher levels of integration, a key element for planning future science capabilities.
