Today was our last real day in the SciArt summer program and looking back, I realize it was such an unforgettable experience. Upon arrival at the program, I had no idea what to expect. The thing that really attracted me to UCLA was having an interest in both science and art. In this program we […]
Magic is a word that is sometimes used to explain things that would otherwise be thought of to be impossible. Many times, it is also used to explain something that is unknown. “How did the cookie get on the floor.” “I don’t know…magic?” The more and more things progress, however, the less and less “impossible” […]

While the rest of the week was very informative, today was one for inspiration. In the morning, Victoria Vesna talked to us about her life. I found her life to be one of the most inspiration lives I’ve ever learned about. In my life, I am surrounded by people who are extremely unhappy with their […]

I also was not really understanding the relation between science and art. Today, however, I felt that I really gained a better understanding and liking for nanotechnology. […]
My presentation group brainstormed and decided on an idea today. When I first heard about how the presentations were to be done and what they were suppose to be about I was less than enthused. Once my group finally picked a topic and started really going in-depth with it, I became genuinely After a lot […]

We also had a lecture about the correlation between art and science and even though I am beginning to see similarities between the […]
