SEAS postdoctoral fellow Otger Campás-Rigau first suggested the course after hearing a speech by Adriá at Harvard in 2008. In designing the curriculum, Weitz and Campás-Rigau consulted the Fundación Alicia, a Barcelona-based nonprofit headed by Adriá that focuses on innovation in kitchen science...
After meeting with many of the chefs earlier this week in Barcelona, Campás-Rigau said that the chefs and the scientists are equally excited to learn about one another’s professions...
...team—which sought to apply quantitative methods to describe the beaks in a more mathematical way—conducted analysis that consisted of quantitative comparisons of the shapes of different species’ beaks, according to Otger Campàs-Rigau, a postdoctoral fellow in applied math specializing in morphogenesis, or the process by which an organism’s shape is determined...
...Scientists had wondered for a long time how different the beaks really are, and had analyzed their differences in a more qualitative way,” Campàs-Rigau said...
...genus Geospiza all have beaks differentiated only by scaling transformations, with only a single gene controlling each of the three dimensions. But for Galápagos finches outside of Geospiza, higher order mathematical transformations were necessary to account for the physical differences in the beaks, Campàs-Rigau said...
