Walking into the CNSI auditorium today, I didn’t know what to expect. A midterm is a very intimidating word in itself but after only a week of lectures I hoped we weren’t expected to produce material similar to that of an actual college student who produce a midterm presentation after an entire semester. Fortunately, I […]
YESS its friday!! today was pretty chill and not as busy as earlier in the week. We had lectures this morning and then did out midterm presentations. There were some pretty good, unique ideas. Since we didn’t visit any labs today i’ve got no pictures for you. We then got to see the Desma kids […]
Friday, July 9, 2009 Today we first learned about Victoria Vessia. She talked to us about her life, but what really attracted my attention was Blue Morph. This is truly art and science mixed together. What they did was use nanoscale images and sounds, yes sounds, of the metamorphosis of a butterfly. Pure creativity. We […]
I’d like to say one thing. I have found that the sun seems to be in our faces each time we walk. As I walk to CNSI in the morning, I am often blinded by the sun rising from the east. Yet I have the same problem as I walk back to our dorm, feeling […]
A focus of the day was medicine and nanotechnology, which I found interesting because I might want to study medicine. I have heard that nanotechnology could be the future of medicine, but I did not know what this really meant. A lab visit today provided a perfect example. We all use cell phones for calling, […]
I found out today that almost all nanotechnology possibilities are related to medicine. Interestingly, there are other ways to implement nanotechnology even though they seem to be computerized for only one reason: to heal the human body when it is in trouble. They can theoretically live in the lungs and help electrolyze water into hydrogen and […]
Dimensions that never end. Anatomy. Vision of flows. Visualization and treatment. Toxicology. Michael Jackson and Obama. 6 separate degrees of life. This made me think. What are 6 degrees that are part of my life of course, that relate to science of art. My first degree. 1992. Rudolph A. Marcus. He was the 1992 Nobel […]
Microscopes Microscopes Where are thee. Show me the images I like to see. Microscopes Microscopes.
There they were. No more different from a capsule suspended on screen, yet the intricate mosaic in which the alpha helix and beta pleated proteins molecules were arranged, implied a more complex story. And yet, the largest intrigue was that there was no complexity in its function. In fact, It is completely hollow (albeit an […]
After yesterday, even though I thought that nanotechnology was very interesting, I was beginning to think that I may not be cut out for a career in science. 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. […]
