SUMMARY:UIDP: U.S. Federal Legislative Update: Preparing for What Comes Next
DESCRIPTION:UIDP member representatives are keenly interested in U.S. federal legislation and policies that impact R&D and university-industry partnerships. During this members-only webinar\, Leslee Gilbert of Van Scoyoc Associates will provide timely insights into the current state of affairs in Washington\, D.C.\, with a special focus on the reemergence of rescission bills—a legislative mechanism we haven’t seen used in over 30 years. Leslee will explain the rescission process\, why it’s resurfacing now\, and what implications it may have for federal funding and policy priorities. She’ll also answer your questions on other pending and recently passed legislation and how your organization can navigate and leverage these developments. \nLeslee\, who brings over 20 years of experience working in and with Congress\, will provide a critical update on the evolving legislative landscape\, offering expert analysis on budget reconciliation and its implications for the U.S. research and development enterprise. She will clarify key developments\, explain how Congress plans to enact consequential changes through budget reconciliation\, and explore the challenges ahead. \nCurrent Events and topics of interest discussed in this update may include: \n\nUnderstanding Rescission Bills: What they are\, how the process works\, and why their reintroduction after three decades is significant for federal funding and policy direction.\n Implications for R&D and Higher Education Funding: How proposed rescissions could affect research budgets\, agency priorities\, and university-industry collaboration opportunities.\n Navigating the Political Landscape: Strategies for institutions to monitor\, respond to\, and engage with policymakers during the rescission process to protect and advocate for critical funding streams.\n\nForm more information and to register\, visit the event website. (Cornell University is a member of UIDP.)

SUMMARY:Marisa Turesky consulting firm founder\, community-engaged researcher
DESCRIPTION:Rethinking Academic Futures\nMeet and Greet for PhD students with Marisa Turesky MA’18 at 4pm in West Sibley room 106\nJoin us for a conversation with Marisa Turesky\, founder of her own urban consulting firm and a passionate advocate for community-engaged research. Marisa will share her journey from academia to entrepreneurship\, and how she transformed her research into real-world impact. Whether you’re curious about life beyond the PhD\, dreaming of starting something of your own\, or just want to hear how research can make a difference outside the university – this is for you. \n________________________________________ \nLocating Lesbian Lives — Holistic Housing in a Compassionate City\nTalk with Alumna Marisa Turesky at 12:20pm in Milstein Hall Auditorium\nMore informtion: Marisa Turesky: Locating Lesbian Lives — Holistic Housing in a Compassionate City \nAbstract\nAging-in-place is a widely shared goal among older adults in the United States\, but the literature remains largely heteronormative and androcentric (Turesky\, 2022). This research examines how older lesbians navigate their social and built environments across their lifespan. By applying a queer-feminist lens (Gorman-Murray\, 2008\, Isoke\, 2011) to frameworks for aging in place (Bigonnesse & Chaudhury\, 2020)\, Marisa Turesky demonstrates the gendered and queer pathways toward health justice and community development over time. \nWith spatial oral histories of lesbians aged 65 to 85 in Los Angeles County\, Turesky examines the different ways in which older lesbians use their home communities to find care and connection amid heteronormative built and social environments. In particular\, Turesky asks: does lesbian identity impact aging-in-place? If so\, how? What can planners and policymakers learn from lesbians to create more equitable cities and neighborhoods for a diverse demographic of aging residents to stay in their home communities across the lifespan? \nThis lecture contributes to urban planning research that (a) addresses aging-in-place dynamics\, (b) deepens our understanding of care practices and spatial justice\, and (c) advances the liberation of a heterogeneous LGBTQ+ community. By highlighting lesbians’ relationships with home environments as they age\, planners and policymakers can better understand infrastructures of care and connection in the face of ageism and hetero-patriarchy. These spatial oral histories demonstrate how neighborhoods\, institutions\, and cities can enhance access to spaces and services to improve safety and health among heterogeneous aging communities. \nAbout the speaker\nMarisa Turesky MA’18 is the Director of Research at Mockingbird Analytics\, an equity-based consulting firm\, and a Visiting Professor in Real Estate Law and Urban Planning at UC Berkeley. She is a community-based researcher and educator focused on advancing urban policies through racial and gender equity. She examines how identity and emotions shape people’s access to places and services across the lifespan. Marisa uses trauma-informed evaluation\, community-based participatory action research\, and qualitative methodologies to integrate social movement practices into urban planning. Her research has been published in top urban planning journals. In past projects\, Marisa has worked with the Equity Research Institute\, the ONE Gay & Lesbian National Archive Foundation\, the American Planning Association\, the LA Alliance for a New Economy\, and the Restorative Justice Institute of Maine. She holds a Ph.D. in Urban Planning & Development from the University of Southern California and a Master of City and Regional Planning from Cornell University. She enjoys biking with her wife and puppy\, especially when the ride ends with french fries. \nSupport for the event\nThis event is funded by a Careers Beyond Academia faculty grant designed to bring in speakers from beyond academia. \nMini-grants are awarded on a rolling basis to faculty in the humanities and social sciences who collaborate across disciplines to create an experiential activity that includes alumni speakers. Careers Beyond Academia staff guide and encourage graduate students and postdocs to collaborate with faculty to help create the events. \nBring greater recognition of the career opportunities and skills needed to be successful in a career outside a professorial position. Intended for pre- and postdoctoral scholars to engage with alumni and others who have transitioned to many diverse career paths. \nThe grants are for interactive sessions involving Cornell PhD alumni and other professionals to inform Cornell PhD students and postdocs about careers outside the professoriate and the skills they will need to be successful in these careers. We are happy to brainstorm ideas with you to help create the most impactful activities. \n

To confirm a spot in the workshop\, submit your video link as directed below in step 2; it will serve as your confirmation of attending both days of the workshop. Questions can be directed via email to: sv27@cornell.edu. \nLocation will be face-to-face in Clark Hall 247 on Thursday May 8 and Friday May 9. Sessions are only held in person and participants must commit to attending both full days. If you were to pay professionals for this kind of training after leaving Cornell\, registration would be at least $750-$1\,500. Thanks to sponsorship by Cornell Graduate School’s Careers Beyond Academia\, the cost to you is nothing! \nLocation will be on central campus in Clark Hall 247. Lunch will be provided both days thanks to the continued support of our partners in Cornell’s Technology Licensing Office. \nAbout the workshop\n\n\n\n\n\n\nLearning to tell a compelling research story can have a significant impact on your career. It can make you stand out at professional conferences\, pitch competitions\, on the job market\, or during an ideal networking opportunity. It is easy to tell a research story badly. We provide specific presentation ideas and field tested exercises that will help you improve your talk. Once you’ve learned how to create a dynamic live performance of your research story\, you may come to enjoy presenting in public. \nThis workshop will intensively work your own research presentation and hone your engaging story through a core message. We incorporate theatrical/improv techniques and video feedback to improve your use of body\, voice\, gesture and to capture wording that resonates with your audience. These workshops have led to a published book that summarizes the exercises and serves as a step-by-step guide to Finding Your Research Voice – Storytelling and Theatre Skills for Bringing Your Presentation to Life. It is fully accessible through the Cornell Library System. \n \n“There are faculty who give terrible talks\, and some who make captivating\, engaging talks. I want to be in the latter category. That’s why I signed up for this workshop.”–Benjamin Rosche\, PhD student\, Sociology” \nThis opportunity is open to PhD students and postdocs in all disciplines\, with priority given to those who are ready to present their research. Time: 9 am to 4 pm Thursday May 8 and Friday May 9\, with an hour lunch break. You must attend both sessions. Due to the intensive\, personalized\, mentored interactions during the workshop\, participation numbers are limited. \nThis two-day workshop is designed for any grad student or postdoc in the social sciences\, STEM\, humanities and arts disciplines interested in an immersion to improve their research communication skills. \n“We were an image-oriented species way before development of the written word. The way we include pictures in our presentations can determine if a story will bring us together.”–Itai Cohen\, Professor\, Physics \nLearning outcomes for Finding Your Research Voice:\nCreating a Core Message\nApplying the Dramatic Arc\nConnecting with Your Audience\nExpressing Passion for Your Research\nFinding a Great Beginning\nChaptering Your Story\nSignaling the End\nImproving Your Voice\nControlling Your Body Language\nIncorporating Gesture Effectively \nIn advance of the workshop:\n\nRight now\, record your 10 minute research talk draft and upload it to YouTube (if you have a previously recorded talk that’s fine\, just the first 10 minutes will be viewed). Don’t worry about professional quality\, it can be done informally on your computer with Zoom. Make sure the audio can be heard. Ideally your slides are visible and so are you as you speak. Your 10 minute talk should cover something you would present at a conference\, perhaps in a longer format. An hour long talk is often comprised of three separate but linked 10 minute talks. Choose the research/scholarly/business idea that you are most passionate about as the subject for your talk. Make sure you do not disclose any proprietary information (hopefully you consider this with every talk).\nThen send the video link before April 30 to confirm your attendance to Itai Cohen (itai.cohen@cornell.edu) and Susi Varvayanis (sv27@cornell.edu). Prior to the workshop we will review your talk\, speak generically about what we see during the workshop\, and offer you concrete tips for improvement individually. This is an essential way you will get the most out of this workshop! Please honor this deadline so we have sufficient time to review all submissions.\nLater\, draft a 1 minute (approximate) Elevator Pitch of your core research message to bring to the workshop. We will use your Elevator Pitch to hone your core message and to work on your performance skills. It should include who you are\, what you do\, what you’ve found\, and why it is important. This is a short persuasive speech about you and your work. It should last no longer than an elevator ride (30 seconds to 2 minutes) and should be carefully crafted to maximize both information and interest during short encounters with important contacts. An elevator pitch is a 3-4 sentence summary of the main point of your talk. Briefly:\n\n\n\n\nIdentify the problem and why it is so important\nExplain why this has not yet been solved\nExplain how you will solve and why you are the person to do it\n\n\n\nFacilitated by:\nItai Cohen\, Professor of Physics\nCornell University\nhttp://cohengroup.lassp.cornell.edu\nitai.cohen@cornell.edu 617-304-2131 \n  \nSusi Varvayanis\, Executive Director\nCareers Beyond Academia\nCornell University Graduate School \ngradcareers@cornell.edu \n  \nAccessibility Requests:\nWe strive to make our events accessible to all community members.
