Co-authors for the study were Hugo Lagercrantz, a professor at the Karolinska Institute in Sweden as well as a member of the Nobel Assembly and Patricia Kuhl, endowed chair for the Bezos Family Foundation for Early Childhood Learning and co-director of the University of Washington’s Institute for Learning and Brain Sciences. The study

variables in the equations Fortuner has been exploring. His findings show the amount of expansion and energy in the universe over time, and give insight into what parameters affect the physics of the very early universe. Entering numerical codes into a computer program and running simulations for hours day after day wasn’t glamorous, but it’s been an invaluable experience for Fortuner – a physics major who almost failed his first physics class. “When I took Intro to Physics class, the first college

wrote Geometry Playground, a computer program for playing with ideas in geometries “other than plain vanilla.” When testing his program, Heath said, he noticed something strange about constructions in spherical geometry, and he tried to write about that to motivate others, especially his students, to explore the ideas, too. That led him to the ideas in the paper that won the award. “I have never considered myself an ‘excellent expositor,’” Heath said.  “I just wrote the paper to try to encourage

This ensures that the stars I was imaging had a normal appearance of a circular dot; this particular mask was 3D-printed by Matthew Hacker.”Observing the Moon:“I am using the observatory desktop computer to utilize a free software package known as AstroImageJ, a professional astronomy program that I used extensively throughout this summer to compute data for my research,” said Kop. “The image

-dip up to 8-credits in their major with what Innovation Studies requires. They do this so that the program is super diverse, with students from many majors offering their disciplinary perspectives. The Innovation Studies program gives you a chance to study business, history, computer science, economics, communications, art, and philosophy, to name just a few disciplines. One of the courses that I took is called Hist 346: History of Innovation and Technology, which traces the process of innovation
