We spent most of today working on our projects. It was pretty interesting seeing all of the different ideas that groups have: animation videos, movies, songs, newscasts, etc. I am excited to see everybody’s projects tomorrow. I think it will be a great expression of all of our artistic and scientific sides: thinking of new […]
Today’s lecture gave me new ideas about both medicine and art. The presentation sparked my interest about aspirin: I was interested to learn that aspirin poses an effect on one’s entire body, and thus, it may sometimes lead to complications. I was also very amazed at Pinar’s artwork, which is very unique, but shows so […]
We began today’s lecture with an intro to future technology. Being a fan of cars, the video from a car show a few years ago was very interesting to me. I was stunned that engineers, who work to design and create the most advanced cars, have such extraordinary ideas. Years ago, it would have seemed […]
Although all of the lab rotations were slightly tiring by the end of the today, today was filled with many memorable experiences. Beginning with the lecture, I had previously never thought about how the Bohr Diagram is very similar to the solar system. In some way, this almost connected science and art for me, because […]
Today’s lab visits of looking at microscopes surprised me. I never knew that there existed so many versatile microscopes—and each one serves and works in similar, yet different ways. We observed the electron microscope, which removes all air and water (using a vacuum) from the sample prior to examination. This microscope allows for strong magnification […]
One of my most memorable experiences so far was looking at the breast cancer cells through the microscope. It is amazing, but very unfortunate, that cancer is such a powerful and dominating disease and it has the ability to keep reproducing itself despite the lack of a body. The sample of breast cancer that we […]
I found Dr. Vesna’s presentation today very intriguing. It felt nice to hear about her background and life, including how she used to be in a band and her multi-cultural experience through education. Because we usually view the artistic and scientific portrayals of our professors, I found it very captivating to hear the story and […]
Today’s lecture greatly changed my interpretation of the collaboration between science and art. Though art has always been in collaboration with various forms of technology, the lecture opened my eyes to the complementary relationship that science and art share. By completing projects such as stained glass, artists and scientists present their collaborations to the rest […]
