07.16.09 UCLA – Today is the last evening we will share with UCLA. I hope to return here later to continue learning once out of high school. The campus is one that is extremely welcoming. The proffesors are extremely intellegent and they all welcome student help and any question you might ever have. Overall this […]
today was the first of the three days i was out sick. The day began at 715, like most days, however, unlike most days, it ended 20 minutes later when I fell back to sleep unable to maintain consciousness. I spent the morning in my dorm room sleeping until around twelve forty five when I […]
So today is the last day of the Nano Lab at UCLA! As I signed up for this program, I expected to be very out of place and that the concepts would be completely over my head. But in actuality, I felt really comfortable here. I really enjoyed the lectures where we learned about issues […]
Today was our last real day at the Sci|Art NanoLab Summer Institute. We mostly just worked on our “Imagine the Impossible” projects, which we are presenting tomorrow. However, this morning we had a quick lecture by Professor Jim Gimzewski, who had just returned from being inducted into the Royal Society. Professor Gimzewski talked about […]
So today is the last day of the sci | art nanotechnology summer program! It’s weird to think about the fact that after tomorrow, i will be leaving the place I’ve called home for two weeks. I’ve learned so much from this program, learned about so many relevant topics, and experienced hands-on so many technologies that […]

I had a unique experience at Sci|Art. From living in doors, to performing experiments, and even the people, I have gained a lot of indescrible knowledge by attending this program-it all went by so fast. My perspective of the science did not change, nor did it change for the arts, but rather I was able […]
` Todays lectures and presentations were my first experiences into the wolrd of non-elementary microscopy. I had seen pictures taken by all the different microscopes shown to the group but had never really thought about or had any interest in the devises. The microscope that interests me the most is the Scanning Electron Microscope because […]
Today was the most relaxed day of the program. I forgot what the daily introduction was about because I fell asleep. However, I was awake for the lecture about sound which I found fascinating. I found it interesting how some substances responded to the sound vibrations. After the lecture our group got together and started […]
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. […]
