Orlando
No full textLooking back at Orlando, since the ensemble dressed in the sea of white, off-white, and skin-toned period undergarments the focus was kept on the title character who wore red, the most dominant color and had century driven costume changes. The textures and colors of the fabric that I chose for Orlando had a similar color tone and incorporated floral details that provided accents of my original ‘blooming’ theme, while still foreshadowing the moment that Orlando realizes that her identity is who she has always been. Additionally, showcasing the period undergarments meant that I had to be mindful of what foundational garments were needed in each era and how they would impact the look of my design from the undergarment out, as well as accounting for the movement dynamics of the cast and their choreography
Neurochet
Get PDFNeuroscience is a subject of abundant interest and fascination in the general public; although one can learn about neuroscience through podcasts, seminars, and popular science articles and books, there is not yet a common hands-on way to explore the most current topics in neuroscience. The goal of Neurochet is to allow the general public, especially those who prefer to investigate the world around them through art and activity, to interact with the cutting edge research graduate students carry out at the University of Iowa. In order to accomplish this goal, I interviewed graduate students in biology, psychology, and neuroscience. I recorded videos of these students giving short, accessible talks, learned more about their research, and wrote crochet patterns based off of their work. These talks, as well as their associated patterns, are online to allow people outside the university to access and utilize them. Included in the page below is an extended piece regarding the ideation and process behind the project, as well as examples of the crochet (including the tools used) and one of the associated videos
Talk Science to Me
Get PDFThe gap between scientific literacy and illiteracy is growing exponentially in accords with the ever-changing field of science. Consequently, the “Talk Science to Me” podcast series sought to narrow this divide by teaching fundamental concepts, which are integral in many facets of health sciences. To accomplish the end, 6 self-contained episodes were generated to teach these components. Each episode was structured as a discussion between Chase Urias (a lay individual) and me (a scientist). During this discourse, Chase voiced any questions or misunderstandings that he had about the material, so that I could clarify appropriately. The final podcast was published on Stem-O-Sphere and advertised via social media and flyers. Understanding of the material and audience demographics were assessed through competency quizzes and surveys linked to the podcasts
