As we approach the end of our two-week summer program, I’d like to recap some of the events that occured. When I came into this program, I felt extremely lost. Especially after the first lecture, my mind started to fly off somewhere else, as I couldn’t grasp concepts of what we were doing or learning. […]
I can still recall the day I arrived at UCLA. Never did I ever expect that the next two weeks would go by so quickly and be so much fun. I have learned all sorts of new information about nanotechnology and have befriended a lot awesome people. Of all the things I have gained here, […]
Visiting both the plasma lab and the library of rare books today was an extremely unique experience. In the library, we were exposed to books that were worth up to the thousands of dollars just because of the history they went through. The book may be common, and printed in mass amounts worldwide, but it’s the […]
Hm the movie wasnt as good as I expected. But that is okay. Hollywood can most definatly not catch up to the amazing magic behind Harry Potter. Or is it magic? What keeps the brooms flying on mid air? Why is there a random lack of gravity when the balls are thrown out. Well as […]
Today’s theme, I believe, was the magic of silence. This strongly coincides with the fact that not only did we watch Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince, but we visited an anechoic chamber as well. The experience of watching the movie was very… unique. I was used to waiting in line for a mid-night […]
Today the group had one guest lecturer and a few lab visits. The guest lecturer talked about art conservation, all that he has done, and the different techniques used. I never knew that art conservation was such a big thing. The conservationists do all sorts of tests on pieces of art to unlock it secrets […]
So it is the lay that I will be staying in the dormitories at UCLA. What a two weeks this has been. Hm.. Final project is done and completed. All we need to do is present to the crowd. I am kinda excited for this. It took a lot of hard work in mostly all one […]
The last day of the UCLA art sci program really is not the last. Just as no one truly dies, there is no end. As matter is simply rearranged after death, new faces come in, reborn, ready to give effort towards art and science. Inspiration has filled the minds of many young adults. As far […]
Today was, in my opinion, the most entertaining and educational day of the program. As a hands-on learner myself, I prefer to stand up and do something rather than be blasted with facts. I realize that facts are a necessity to learn, but there are different methods of acquiring these facts. And, the way that […]
The final day before presentations!!!! The day with a quick lecture telling us about how today was the final day we had to work on our project. We had an extremely talented man come and shoot the starting gun. Apparently, he had just come back from signing a book with Isaac Newton and Albert Einstein’s […]
