Science Corner: Of Barks & Bytes

June 11, 2025 by Andy Walsh Leave a Comment

Move over, Nintendo Switch 2--there's a new video game sheriff in town. Sure, the graphics are pretty rudimentary, and the controls are idiosyncratic. But how can you not be charmed by seals playing a video game--for science! Check out the link for a brief video clip. The "game" models features of a swim at various depths, and the seals interact in a way that indicates they understand what direction of travel is implied by the simulation. The results provide scientists insights into what cues seals use to navigate. … [Read more...] about Science Corner: Of Barks & Bytes

Science Corner: Universal Science Income

April 19, 2017 by Andy Walsh Leave a Comment

Paying for science is not always as exciting as the science itself, unless we're using science to figure out how to pay for it. (Just don't get caught in a recursive loop.) And so we have a proposal for a new economic model for science funding along with some simulation studies to demonstrate how it would play out under different conditions. The current system involves a lot of time spent on writing grants, most of which are unsuccessful, and on reviewing those grants, creating expensive overhead even under the best … [Read more...] about Science Corner: Universal Science Income

A Mission to the University: Part 2 of Engaging the University

June 5, 2013 by Tom Grosh IV Leave a Comment

Part 2  of  Vinoth Ramachandra's  Engaging the University (21:22)  is packed. After exploring the broad topics of funding's push toward instrumentalism, the fragmentation of campus academic life by global communication, and the lack  of "any coherent master narrative for a central point of reference . . . to evaluate the relationship of . . . parcels of knowledge to other parcels or to weigh their relative importance," Ramachandra  considers three  challenges which Christians face in engaging the … [Read more...] about A Mission to the University: Part 2 of Engaging the University
