Last night, Sci | Art students walked restlessly into Westwood to watch the midnight premiere of Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince. I am a huge fan of the Harry Potter series. I own all of the books, watched all of the movies, and even own dolls of Harry, Ron, and Hermione (my mom bought […]
Today is one of the big days, today is our midterm. After another great beginning lecture we separated off into our groups to finalize the ideas for our final projects. Anticipation was sweating out of every pour. After trying our hardest to make our idea the best it could possibly be and having all of us run […]
Today started with another extremely stimulating discussion delivered to us by our instructors. It addressed the concept of shape and how its was applied in art and science. The examples that they showed us helped show me that the line the world has drawn between art and science is even more transparent than I was […]

After all, it is easier to accept our advancements than our mistakes. Richard L. Jones has little reservations about nanotechnology overriding the human race, as […]

On Friday we presented our ideas for final projects. My group and I came up with the idea of using nanobots to treat hemophilia. How it would work would be that the nanobots would collect certain protiens in food to make factor 8. Then when the victim of disease got a cut the nanobot would […]
On Saturday we went to the Getty Museum. One thing that i particularly enjoyed was seeing the paintings by Van Gogh. When I was younger my mom always showed me pictures of Van Gogh’s paintings and to actually see them in person was a new experience. Being able to see all the fine details of […]
