In my "Design: Critical Issues" course, we spent most of the semester collaborating with the Marine Biology department to translate scientific information to the general public. This particular group studied hermit crab clusters; I used the actual data from their findings to create the poster. The shapes on the top represent the measurements collected during the day, the bottom being the same clusters during the night.

John Rinn
Assistant Professor of Stem Cell and Regenerative Biology at Harvard University and Medical School and Senior Associate Member of the Broad Institute
John Rinn takes an unconventional approach to the way biologists think about the human genome. Focusing on large intervening non-coding RNAs (lincRNAs), his work suggests that so-called “junk genes” may actually play a key regulatory role in cell function. Rinn’s finding have been published in Nature, Science and the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, and he has been named to Popular Science’s “Brilliant 10.” By identifying thousands of new RNA genes in the human genome, he is working toward a better understanding of their importance for human health and disease.
Leila Takayama
Research Scientist, Willow Garage
Leila Takayama studies how people perceive, understand, feel about and interact with robots. What can robots do? Better yet, what should they do, and how? Takayama has been collaborating with character animators, sound designers, and product designers to work toward making both the appearance and behaviors of robots more human-readable, approachable, and appealing. Her findings have appeared in the International Journal of Design, Neural Networks and IEEE Pervasive Computing. Through her research, Takayama is leading the way toward robots that serve their purposes more effectively and intuitively.
Tiffani Williams
Associate Professor, Computer Science and Engineering, Texas A&M University
Tiffani Williams explores new ways to use computation in helping to reconstruct the phylogenetic ways that all organisms are connected. A specialist in bioinformatics and high-performance computing, she is working with a multidisciplinary team to build the Open Tree of Life, showing the previously established links among species and providing tools for scientists to update and revise the tree as new data come in. She has been a Radcliffe Institute Fellow, has been funded by the National Science Foundation, and has published in Science, Evolutionary Bioinformatics and the Journal of Computational Biology. By helping identify how species are related to each other, Williams is providing a framework for new understanding in realms such as ecological health, environmental change, and human disease.
Benjamin Zaitchik
Assistant Professor, Department of Earth and Planetary Sciences, Johns Hopkins University
Benjamin Zaitchik’s research is directed at understanding, managing, and coping with climatic and hydrologic variability. He looks for new approaches to controlling human influences on climate and water resources at local, regional and global scales, and explores improved forecast systems and methods of risk assessment. His work has received funding from NASA, the National Institutes of Health and the National Science Foundation, and appeared in the International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health and Water Resources Research, among others. Zaitchik is interested in helping provide new insights in such crucial areas as transboundary water management, climate-informed disease early warning systems, and adaptation strategies in subsistence agricultural communities.
THE SMALL ANGLE SCATTERING SYSTEM CAN BE USED TO MEASURE PARTICLES BETWEEN .01 AND 1.0 MICRONS (MILLIONTHS OF A METER) IN SIZE.
WHEN A BEAM OF ELECTROMAGNETIC RADIATION STRIKES AN OBJECT, ITS LIGHT WAVES ARE SCATTERED, FORMING INTERFERENCE PATTERNS WITH UNSCATTERED WAVES OF THE SAME LIGHT THAT CAN BE MATHEMATICALLY INTERPRETED. AT WAVELENGTHS BETWEEN 10 AND 50 ANGSTROMS, LOW ENERGY OR "SOFT" X-RAYS ARE THE PERFECT SIZE FOR MEASURING MICRON AND SUBMICRON OBJECTS. USING THIS TECHNIQUE, LBL RESEARCHERS WILL BE ABLE TO LOOK AT BIOLOGICAL MATERIALS WITHOUT REMOVING THEM FROM THEIR NATURAL AQUEOUS ENVIRONMENTS, OR CAUSING EXTENSIVE RADIATION DAMAGE.

I was struggling with this one and then remembered that my daughter has one of those kitchen science kits that someone bought her for a present once. Shes never got round to using it thankfully!
An experiment Sam was doing for school to see how the density of the number of seeds planted affected the growth of the plant.
Science World at Telus World of Science, Vancouver is a science centre run by a not-for-profit organization in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. It is located at the end of False Creek, and features many permanent interactive exhibits and displays, as well as areas with varying topics throughout the years.
As a child I loved looking at the covers and the illustrations within my dad's old science magazines. I didn't actually read any, just looked at the pictures. It's still absolutely inspirational stuff.

science data collected was good, & here's what telemetry data we recovered during the probe core's brief operation. Battery power should have lasted longer but one of the science experiments was hooked up wrong and sucked way too much power - almost fried
In this experiment, the color of the liquid in the flasks will change to yellow if you blow in the straw. This student tests whether an aquarium bubbler will also cause the color change. For more science experiment ideas, see www.biologycorner.com
89/365: I observed my first middle school science class today. It was a great experience. The teacher was not one to read and teach from the textbook (thankfully!). In fact, the textbooks were neatly lined up at the back of the classroom.
