Faculty Research Seed Grant Program, Deadline Nov. 30
The Division of Research is pleased to announce the second year of a University-wide Faculty Research Seed Grant Program to foster increased extramural funding by facilitating the development of innovative research ideas and collaborations that will lead to successful grant applications. A total of $250,000 is available to support this program. However, the number of awards funded will depend on the quality and types of proposals submitted. The maximum award amounts are $20,000 for collaborative awards and $5,000 for individual awards. A principal investigator can qualify for only one award.
The objectives of the seed grant program are to:
- Encourage groups of researchers to collaborate on new avenues of research that otherwise would not be possible if explored independently.
- Assist early stage researchers to establish themselves as independent investigators by facilitating a record of preliminary research that will lead to successful grant applications in the future.
- Support researchers who received favorable reviews for their proposals but were unsuccessful with funding due to recommendations to perform additional research or testing.

Celebrating Jupiter's 2012 Opposition to the Sun Dec. 1-2
On the evening of Saturday, Dec. 1, the FAU Astronomical Observatory will be celebrating Jupiter's Opposition to the Sun. from 7 p.m. until 2 a.m. This will be the last solar opposition for Jupiter until 2014. A planet in opposition means that the Earth will be as close as we can be to the planet for this orbital pass. Throughout the night, we'll get to observe a variety of events that will also occur. Jupiter's moon Io will emerge from behind the planet at 9:53 - 9:57 p.m. and Jupiter's famous Great Red Spot will emerge from its far side at 10:30 pm, will reach mid-transit at 12:37 a.m. and finally return to Jupiter's far side by 2 a.m. While lately "Rose" might be a better descriptive color for it, the Great Red Spot is Jupiter's famous "anti-cyclonic" storm that can be three times the size of the Earth, thus puts any superstorm that we have to shame! The timing of its transit on this particular night will provide an excellent opportunity to see it as well! The presentation that will be provided will provide information about Jupiter and its moons and lead into a discussion about the formation of the solar system, how some of our information about Jupiter conflicts with this formation theory, present newer interesting theories about how it could have occurred and finally a bit about the Juno spacecraft, launched last year to the great planet and which may help answer some of these questions.

Born from Folding: The Art & Science of Origami through Jan. 23
"Born from Folding: The Art & Science of Origami" is now open at the Wimberly Library in the Boca Raton campus. It is best viewed during daylight hours, when the natural light from the windows of the library lobby streams through the tessellation patterns of the origami on display. Check
www.library.fau.edu/geninfo/hours.htm for hours. The Vanessa Gould documentary "Between the Folds" (Green Fuse Films, 2009) is the inspiration for the exhibition. The film explores the artistic importance of origami and then moves on to origami's connections to the world beyond art: to math, to science, to engineering. "All of these paperfolders," Gould says, "artists and scientists alike, whether producing beautiful objects or finding new ways to fold airbags or space telescopes, are involved in a creative effort." Featured origami artists: Christiane Bettens, Philip Chapman-Bell, Joel Cooper, Erik Demaine, Martin Demaine, Lydia Diard, Christine Edison, Melina Hermsen, Andrew Hudson, Peter Keller, Ralf Konrad, Yoshinobu Miyamoto and Matthew Shlian.
