    Making Sense of Science
    (Georgia Institute of Technology, 2010-11-01) Porter, Alan L. ; Carley, Stephen ; Melkers, Julia ; Xiao, Fang
    Rapid changes occurring in scientific fields such as nanotechnology, biotechnology, and information technology increase the challenges technology managers and science policy makers alike face when determining the best course for research program strategy, management, and evaluation. Among other things, it is increasingly important to understand relationships, both cognitive and social, among research domains. In this panel, GaTech presenters discuss how using text-mining tools to analyze large sets of science and technology information provides indicators and insights into these critical questions. This presentation addresses the benefits and related issues in combining survey-based social network data with bibliometric data in the study of scientific collaboration. Preliminary results of on-going research are presented.

    IDEA: Improvisation for Design of Engineering Alternatives
    (Georgia Institute of Technology, 2010-02-24) Ludovice, Peter J. ; Lefton, Lew
    Improvisation for Design of Engineering Alternatives (IDEA) is a group of Georgia Tech researchers who apply the techniques of improvisational humor to catalyze technical innovation. While this approach has been used in non-technical innovation for years, they apply it to generating unique technical solutions to engineering design problems.

    The GT Accessible Aquarium Project
    (Georgia Institute of Technology, 2009-04-07) Walker, Bruce N.
    Zoos and aquaria are in the business of educating and entertaining the visiting public. However, as the number of people with disabilities living in the community has grown, and as public environments have become more accessible to them, such informal learning environments (ILEs) are faced with accommodating an increasingly diverse visitor population with varying physical and sensory needs. This is even more challenging for ILEs with dynamic exhibits, where the movements, changes, and interactions are extremely difficult to describe to individuals who lack vision. The GT Accessible Aquarium Project is an interdisciplinary team effort to make dynamic exhibits such as those at museums, science centers, zoos and aquaria more engaging and accessible for visitors with vision impairments by providing real-time interpretations of the exhibits using innovative tracking, music, narrations, and adaptive sonification.

    Music, Science, and Technology
    (Georgia Institute of Technology, 2009-03-03) Hunt, William D. ; Valk, Henry
    Music and its performance have been part of our inheritance since primitive times. But what is music? How do we produce and hear it? How are popular instruments that we use to perform it, such as the guitar and piano, evolving? These and related questions will be discussed from the standpoint of current science and technology.

    Dwelling Studies
    (Georgia Institute of Technology, 2008-10-07) Crawford, T. Hugh ; Broglio, Ron
    Dwelling studies examines how we engage with the earth so as to fashion a world and worldview. As a methodology, dwelling studies uses phenomenology to examine a variety of ecologies and economies of human comportment in order to further living well.

    Older Adult Expertise in Emotion Regulation: Gains and Costs
    (Georgia Institute of Technology, 2008-09-16) Blanchard-Fields, Fredda
    Despite research that shows cognitive decline as we grow older, changes in emotion show a positive developmental trajectory. This talk will address two questions. What are the skills older adults possess and use when regulating their emotions? Under what conditions are older adults more effective and least effective at regulating their emotions?

    Are Cities Warming Faster than the Planet as a Whole?
    (Georgia Institute of Technology, 2008-04-01) Stone, Brian
    How rapidly are large U.S. cities like Atlanta warming and what steps can be taken to manage climate change in urban areas? This talk will explore the methods employed to measure urban and global temperature trends and document the rate of temperature change with 50 of the most populous U.S. metropolitan areas between 1950 and 2000. The distinction between the urban and global mechanisms of warming will be considered as part of a more general discussion of climate change management in cities.

    Composer, Performer, Listener
    (Georgia Institute of Technology, 2008-03-04) Freeman, Jason
    Even as social networking, multi-player gaming, and collaborative content creation become increasingly important in our lives, concert musical performance continues to follow a model in which the audience remains passive, with little connection to the composer, to the performers, or to each other. Freeman, an assistant professor in the Music Department, will explore how technology can transform the concert experience by inviting the audience to shape the music as it is performed or by engaging audiences in personalized musical experiences online.
