Religion in Latin America: Widespread change in a historically catholic region. Phillips, J. Journal of Heredity , esz , 92— I love making stuff, let it be wood crafting or building cosplay Halloween costumes for my kids.
However, I also like to do things the right way. Consequently, I have to learn new skills all the time. To that end, I watch a lot making of videos and tutorials. Over time I realized that I spend a lot of time watching experts on YouTube doing things.
At first, I thought I am just a sucker for infotainment, but then I took a closer look at my YouTube-history. I found confirmation for the infotainment preference. These all fall into the category of science or technology dissemination. Here comes the strange observation. Me being a scientist, I feel much more connected with the makers. But why is that? Most science YouTubers talk about scientific facts, and how they can be understood. They debunk false claims and fake news. Or they show advancements, and how sophisticated detectors allow us to understand the very stuff reality is made from.
Yes, accomplishments are great, but Scientific discoveries are rare, most experiments fail, and results keep contradict each other until much later when suddenly everything makes sense. Almost by definition, we scientists work on the edge of the known. If our experiments worked out every single time, we could have known the answer beforehand. However, the typical US education is not preparing students for such challenges. Our kids experience immediate rewards not only in their learning environments but also in how they play.
Digital games are optimized for instant rewards, which is what makes them so addictive. Critical thinking is nice, but you also need to come up with new and creative ways to solve problems. We need to show our students and children that failures are an integral part of learning. We need to show them how to deal with setbacks. One allows you to empathize, and the other makes you depressed. I want them to be comfortable with not knowing.
I need them to enjoy this state, as it is the motor for curiosity and creative exploration. This is also the reason why I emotionally bond with Adam and Claire.
The only difference between Adam and Claire is in their ability to cope. Adam has more than ten years of experience from MythBusters in not getting the expected results.
That is probably the reason why he can enjoy what he does so much more. He lets you feel how little he is bothered by failure. She also lets us experience how she deals with that frustration: A sigh, a comment, and then she goes on. No regrets!
Now she knows more, and now she can try something new, which ultimately leads to the answer. I enjoy every bit of what you are doing. The reason why I think Adam and Claire are also such great science role models is their ability to struggle publicly. They show how failing is an integral part of finding the solution, and their ability to cope with that frustration is exemplary.
On Oct. I received a warm and wonderful reception everywhere I went, in spite of tariffs, trade wars, and all the political difficulties that fill the news. At Shantou University, I was warmly welcomed by Prof. Zhun Fan on left with his wife, her parents, and son, and yes, the ChaoShan-style food was yummy! During four days in Shantou, I gave three lectures and heard reports from students and faculty about their research progress.
Discussions led to many new ideas to explore. I met with Shantou University Provost Wang to review our past collaboration and investigate the possibility of broadening it next year to include more participation in the application of evolutionary computation to civil engineering. Wang is an expert in structural health monitoring and energy capture to power sensors, areas in which MSU CEE also has expertise.
The joint center received an excellent rating from the government on its operations to date. Peng is advised by Prof. I was hosted by Prof. In the evening, they took me on a river tour of downtown Guangzhou, and the picture shows how much more light show there is in Guangzhou than in Times Square, New York! Coordinated moving images on a series of a dozen or more buildings! Absolutely spectacular!
Goodman with Prof. I then returned to Shanghai and met for two days with the greenhouse control team at Tongji University, in a collaboration extending more than ten years, resulting in dozens of joint papers and in control systems being tested in commercial-sized greenhouses.
His work was nominated for an outstanding dissertation award. I lectured at Tongji University to about two hundred graduate students about our recent work on evolutionary deep learning and about my solid fuel rocket optimization work using a heterogeneous parallel genetic algorithm. I also gave a similar talk at East China Normal University the next day, for about 50 graduate students. Kalyanmoy Deb and two distinguished Indian scholars.
Vibrio cholerae is bacteria that resides in water and causes deadly cholera disease. While areas of the world with functional sewage and potable water are largely unaffected, there is still no definitive cure for the disease. It remains rampant in less developed regions and often acts as a deadly second act after natural disaster and wars destroy infrastructure.
We know that these mentored undergraduates frequently go on to graduate school and will be the leaders in marine research and science in the future. We welcome them back to FHL to continue their graduate and postdoctoral research, especially if they return someday with their own students! References: Lopatto D. Cell Biology Education: 3 The research will integrate physical wind tunnel experiments, machine learning, and computational fluid dynamics to reliably predict extreme wind load effects on roof systems of low-rise buildings.
The project will also explore the effectiveness of different aerodynamic roof load reduction strategies to alter the wind flow field around buildings and prevent the development of strong and localized wind-induced forces. Wind load mitigation strategies explored in the research will be tested under physically simulated hurricane wind fields in a large-boundary-layer wind tunnel. The objective was to mount an innovative, interdisciplinary campaign in important areas of basic research.
