Students from the College of Visual and Performing Arts, L.C. Smith College of Engineering and Computer Science, School of Architecture, Martin J. Whitman School of Management, the College of Arts and Sciences, the S.I. Newhouse School of Public Communications and the School of Information Studies came together in September for the Creative Climate, an intensive weekend eco-graphics design workshop sponsored by SU Showcase. Led by Tara DePorte, director of the Human Impacts Institute in New York City, and Andrea Buckvold, an instructor in the College of Visual and Performing Arts, the students researched the effects of climate disruption and brainstormed and experimented with ways to communicate the danger to others.
Using collage, silkscreen or computer graphics, they produced posters, which are now on display on the fourth floor of the Hall of Languages and the first floor of Bird Library. Following are some of their works.
This spring, Women in Science and Engineering (WiSE) held its annual Norma Slepecky Memorial Lecture and Award Ceremony. WiSE was honored to host distinguished guest speaker Joan-Emma Shea, who presented “Self-Assembly of the Tau Protein: Computational Insights Into Neurodegeneration.” Shea…
Bao-Ding “Bob” Cheng’s journey to Syracuse University in pursuit of graduate education in the 1960s was long and arduous. He didn’t have the means for air travel, so he voyaged more than 5,000 nautical miles by boat from his home…
One of the most critical issues facing the scientific world, no less the future of humanity, is climate change. Unlocking information to help understand and mitigate the impact of a warming planet is a complex puzzle that requires interdisciplinary input…
Detecting single photons—the smallest unit of light—is crucial for advanced quantum technologies such as optical quantum computing, communication and ultra-sensitive imaging. Superconducting nanowire single-photon detectors (SNSPDs) are the most efficient means of detecting single photons and these detectors can count…
Several key moments in Earth’s history help us humans answer the question, “How did we get here?” These moments also shed light on the question, “Where are we going?,” offering scientists deeper insight into how organisms adapt to physical and…
