Delve Deeper, a course co-taught by Cornell research librarians in partnership with faculty and staff mentors, is preparing undergraduates as scholars with advanced research skills.
Events on campus include films about the Voyager mission and The Beatles’ “Sgt. Pepper;” a musical version of Homer’s “Odyssey,” Science on Tap with Mason Peck on accessible space travel; and a talk on medieval images of the heavens with author and art historian Benjamin Anderson.
Imagine a version of Google Street View where you could hit the rewind button and see any point in time over the last five years. Cornell researchers are building something like that, at least for a few much-photographed places, such as 5Pointz in Queens, left.
Events this week include Union Days, The Alloy Orchestra at Cornell Cinema, Sitara Night, a Science Cabaret on the mechanics of bicycles, pianist Jeremy Denk, and the domestic violence documentary "Home Truth."
Professor of performing and media arts Bruce Levitt was awarded Cornell's Engaged Scholar Prize for his community-engaged work, including facilitating a theater group at Auburn Correctional Facility.
As disciplines, art and science may seem worlds apart, but a Cornell course bridges the two by using microbiologist Ruth Ley's research as inspiration.
Events this week include a Science Cabaret on synthetic biology; networking at the Johnson Museum; "Anarchy in the Archives" ending in Kroch Library; and a reading by MFA student writers.
