Neuroscience researchers at the University of California Santa Cruz, University of California San Francisco, and Washington University in St. Louis use the cloud-scale Pacific Research Platform and National Research Platform to share and compute massive open-source datasets, accelerating experiment times from weeks to mere hours.
Big Data: How the PRP Enables Scientists to Unlock Genetic Secrets
Categories Cultural & Scientific Healthcare RENS & NRENS Pacific Wave
With innovative networking tools available on the Pacific Research Platform, Professor Alex Feltus at Clemson University in South Carolina analyzes massive genomics datasets to better understand how genes interact to cause disease in humans. His dream is for everyone to have access to the PRP, which would drastically accelerate scientific discovery.
The Kids Are Online — and Alright: Unexpected Benefits of Broadband Access
Categories Healthcare K-12
Teens, especially in underserved areas, benefit from Internet access in terms of physical and mental health, and social and political connection. CENIC’s conference served as a valuable venue for Camille Crittenden to incubate her ideas, present preliminary concepts, receive valuable feedback, and gauge community interest.
CENIC and Alameda Peer to Connect Students to Saildrone and Berkeley Lab
Categories CCCs Cultural & Scientific K-12 RENS & NRENS
A new SFI agreement between CENIC and the City of Alameda is a model for local governments that wish to connect technology and R&D companies in their region with a state’s research and education institutions.
Identifying Tiny Organisms with Giant Impact on Climate
Advances in automated plankton identification will benefit the fields of both computer science and biological science, enabling improved classification algorithms for machine learning and vast new data streams for plankton ecology. With success, the ability to rapidly and automatically find patterns in plankton ecology could drastically speed up observations of climate change challenges and solutions.
Rivers in the Sky: How PRP Enables Scientists to Predict Extreme Weather
Categories University of California RENS & NRENS
What would it take for weather forecasters to be able to predict seasonal climate effects — such as the extreme drought followed by the extreme floods experienced in the American West over the past few years?
