...this new course, students explore the intersection between art and science—both how artistic representations elucidate scientific concepts, and how those concepts can inspire and complicate art. As science becomes increasingly nanoscopic and the representation of that data more difficult to visualize, animation has begun to serve as a new visual language—one that can communicate concepts too abstract to verbalize. “The class is very experimental,” Lingford says. “There is no set body of knowledge which we are imparting to students. Instead, we hope students leave with...
...We’re going to continue to gather our research and data, and continue to do what we do, encouraging students to make healthy choices,” Travia said...
...really shouldn’t jump to the conclusion,” Travia said. “We do conduct a lot of research and we’ve got a lot of data, and we have nothing that suggests that people are drinking more dangerously...
Bachelet's government has suggested it was working with flawed data from its navy. Scientists say a tsunami's likelihood and force depend largely on the amount of vertical movement an earthquake causes at the sea floor. The 9.0-magnitude quake that caused the devastating South Asia tsunami of 2004 yielded potent vertical displacement of about 16 ft. (5 m); Chile's Saturday temblor, centered just off the Pacific coast about midway between the capital, Santiago, and Concepción, is thought to have involved significant vertical motion as well. Fortunately, no other countries in the Pacific Basin were affected...
...Jane Lubchenco, head of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration in Washington, which is analyzing the Chile tsunami data, says that precisely because the communities were so close to the epicenter, tsunami waves arrived "almost instantaneously." (Most accounts indicate they hit the shore less than 20 minutes after the first quake shock.) "It would have been virtually impossible to mobilize quickly enough to get out of harm's way," Lubchenco says - especially at 3:30 a.m., when the quake hit. "They didn't have the benefit of early warning in this case." (See the 10 deadliest earthquakes...
