Researchers Go on Offense, Defense in Battle Against Hackers
CyVerse is participating in two National Science Foundation grants totaling $1.5 million that will allow University of Arizona researchers to be more aggressive in the battle against hackers.
In the largest plant genome project to date, an international consortium of researchers generated gene sequences from more than 1,100 species, providing a framework for 1 billion years of green plant evolution. The data are available in the CyVerse Data Commons.
CyVerse Community Member and Astrophysicist Helps Lead Event Horizon Telescope Data Processing
A CyVerse collaborator and astrophysicist helps lead data processing efforts for the Event Horizon Telescope (EHT) project, an international collaboration aiming to capture the first image of a black hole by integrating eight telescopes to create a planet-sized virtual telescope capable of measuring the boundaries of black holes.
UA Campus Comes Together to Celebrate Digital Literacy
Research Bazaar Arizona – an innovative marketplace where researchers, students, educators, and data science enthusiasts can mingle, discuss, learn, share, and co-create on topics from how to code software to research publication – has brought together members of the University of Arizona community for a third year.
NSF 2026 Idea Machine: Reinventing Scientific Talent
The National Science Foundation's 2026 Idea Machine is a competition aimed at helping inform the U.S. agenda for science and engineering. Contestants submit entries regarding the most pressing research questions of the coming decade. Entries are available for comment until June 26.
Inaugural Open Science Course Teaches Best Practices
In early June, CyVerse kicked off its novel curriculum for Foundational Open Science Skills, or FOSS, a week-long summer-camp style training designed to introduce principal investigators – both new and established – to principles, technologies, and best practices for open science.
Introducing DataHog: A Novel New App to Analyze Stored Files
The CyVerse Data Store allocates users 5 GB of free data storage space, enough to fill roughly 500 Stephen King-sized novels. With that much space, it’s easy to lose track of individual files, an old project, or that one script you know you put somewhere – and when you don't know where your data are, it's hard to manage them.
Research Bazaar Returns to the University of Arizona on May 20–22
Researchers at all levels from all disciplines are encouraged to attend, especially PhD and research master's students. Research technologists and engineers who support researchers to do their job should also come along!
