Today was a day of results. We presented our midterms and we saw the DSMA kid’s final presentations. My group went through pletny of good ideas to decide on a final point. We decided we would be a little different in our ideas, playing off the theme of ‘imagine the impossible’. Now of course, nanobots […]
Today as part of our rotating laboratory activities, we went to the UCLA Plasma Research Center. One of the relevant topics in the research center was the practical applications of plasmids in daily life. Little did I know, that plasmids are used in many aspects of my life although I hadn’t realized it. st1\:*{behavior:url(#ieooui) } […]
When I go to a museum and stare at the wondrous paintings, rarely do it think of science. I find myself enamored in the artistic strokes of the piece, following the paints of Van Gough or Monet all across the texture canvas surface. What I realized after this day was that this would not be […]
The topic of today’s study was Art, Science, and Nature. We began in the auditorium listening to a lecture about the Six Degrees of Separation. In this presentation, Leonardo de Caprio/da Vinci was connected to Barrack Obama after only 6 steps. These presentations ranged from the introduction of “vaults” and nanobots to Michael Jackson performing […]
The topic of today’s study was Seeing the Invisible. During the first lecture, many subjects were covered including the many dimensions, the different types of microscopes, and the introduction to Nanoscience/Nanotechnology. At the beginning of the instruction, we were taught how visualization, on the nano-scale, helps develop views both artistically and scientifically. Unlike light microscopes, […]
On this fine day, I really got to learn about the application of nano science in medicine. We first visited the chemistry lab where they were working on caner research and then Dr. Rome lectured to us. I found the chemistry lab visit to be interesting. Although I did not like chemistry too much in […]
Thinking back on my day, it is difficult for me to look past the blood, sweat, and tears that went into going to eachdifferent area. After I forget about the exhaustion, I realized I learned an outrageous amount today. We had a lecture about the use of structures and shapes in art and science. We […]
Today, the popular saying “last but not least” seemed to apply well as we went on a variety of field trips across both the campus and town. In fact, in my opinion, it seemed that we had indeed saved the best for last. After visiting an art gallery and plasma-research lab, both of which […]
Often described as the happiest place on earth, the beloved theme park known as Disneyland also serves as the perfect example of the blending of art and science to create something fun, innovative, and magical. Filled with crazy colors, cartoonish characters, and an all-around carefree feel, the artistic aspect of Disneyland is fairly obvious. […]
It has often been said that those who do not remember the past are doomed to repeat it. In the past, the preservation of history was often left to the wealthy who had the means and the motivation to establish and accumulate collections of various art forms that, in themselves, served as recollections of […]
