We’re hiring. Two roles. One super-duper awesome remote team. Do you get genuinely excited when a workshop runs on time? → Labs and Residencies Manager might be your thing. Do you have a sixth sense for scheduling conflicts? → Executive Administrative Partner has your name on it.

"We welcome everyone, but please note the event is not wheelchair accessible.
Join us for a short hike to the vernal pool to see and hear the spring pepper frogs! You'll also fear from wetland scientist Michelle Peach, practice identifying species, and spend time writing and reflecting in the woods.
Free pizza, field journals, pencils, and bug spray! Bring a chair or blanket.
Look for our tent at the entrance to the North Woods on Flagg Rd. across from the Coastal Institute. Parking spaces are available and do not require a permit for this event.

We did some birding with Maine Audubon (22 species), some coastal flooding community science with the Gulf of Maine Research Institute (with a rainbow), and experienced all the Maine stuff (blueberry crisp and LL Bean) 🦅 🌈 🫐 🥾 thanks @dwell-lab.bsky.social for funding my attendance!

Please help share a resource DWELL Lab developed and our request for participation in a brief survey. The app will only be available to download until 11/6, so please help spread the word: web.uri.edu/steep/pfas-k...

STEEP is seeking users and feedback for our original augmented reality experience, PFAS Kitchen. Take a virtual adventure and learn more about PFAS in your home!

The purpose of this part of the study is to explore the effectiveness of Augmented Reality (AR) technologies in science communication and understanding consumer behavior, specifically about PFAS (per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances). Participants will be guided through a pre-survey, augmented reality (AR) experience using Adobe Aero, and a post-survey. To be eligible, participants must be between the ages of 18 and 80, have access to a personal mobile device, and are physically and cognitively able to navigate online surveys and an augmented reality platform. There are no direct benefits to the participant. Participation will help advance research for educational technology and increase understanding of knowledge and use of PFAS in the home.

Interested in participating? Read more on the STEEP website.

This 30-minute research experience can be accessed at your convenience, in your own space with your personal mobile device. Data will be analyzed by University of Rhode Island Researchers Madison Jones, PhD (principal investigator; madisonjones@uri.edu) and Jaclyn Witterschein (co-investigator, jwitterschein@uri.edu). This research has been approved by The University of Rhode Island Institutional Review Board.
