In the first video, it described the powers of 10 and the relative size of things in the universe and the effect of adding another zero. It has always been extremely fascinating to me.

This event was extremely interesting as it showed Eli Joteva's beautiful artwork. She had different balls of ice hanging by a rope that were set up around the room. What made these balls interesting is that they were covered with leaves and other such materials and objects. The day I went was the third day of the...

Jacob Burton Desma 9 5/13/17                                                                        Blog 6                    This week we looked at Biotechnology and art.
