Janelia Farm Closing Symposium

in science on 10 Aug 2011

Summary

The Janelia Undergrad program ended with a all-day Symposium during which each undergrad had around 15 minutes to present the results of their project. It was a fun way to end the summer and see what the others had been up to.

At the end of the summer at Janelia Farm, the undergrads had to give a 15 minute presentation of their work that summer (along with presenting at a poster session afterwards). Below is my presentation; as usual, I created a custom PowerPoint theme using PowerPoint and Adobe.

sochi olympic stats: medal count
19 february 2014 | america
There have been several articles that re-order the medal count ranking by comparing medals to population or GDP, which then show small coun[...]tries topping the charts. This analysis ignores some obvious facts: small countries are over-represented in the number of athletes they send and the relationship between athletes sent and medals is linear. I present a brief analysis to support and expand on these claims.

movie review: star wars the force awakens
21 december 2015 | movies
Star Wars: The Force Awakens is an okay movie when viewed through the eyes of an adult, but is a fun, entertaining movie if you go in with [...]a twelve year old's mindset. It pushes the right buttons and has a good amount of fan service. But it ultimately fails as a standalone movie—with its boring/predictable plot, rehashed characters and concepts, and other flaws—that will ultimately be remembered as good or bad depending on how episodes VIII and IX turn out.

stanford bing concert hall: first impressions
15 december 2012 | stanford
Designed by architect Richard Olcott (Ennead Architects) and sound designer Dr. Yasuhisa T[...]oyota (Nagata Acoustics), the Bing Concert Hall is stunning. Robert Campbell (Fisher Dachs Associates) was on hand during the second sound check (along with Richard and Dr. Toyota) to discuss the philosophy behind the building, a bit of history, and where they hope it will be in the future. This post is my impressions of the place along with notes from their interview.
