Dissertation Observation

Oceanography also called oceanology or marine science, is the branch of Earth science that studies the ocean. It covers a wide range of topics, including marine organisms and ecosystem dynamics; ocean currents, waves, and geophysical fluid dynamics; plate tectonics and the geology of the sea floor; and fluxes of various chemical substances and physical properties within the ocean and across its boundaries. These diverse topics reflect multiple disciplines that oceanographers blend to further knowledge of the world ocean and understanding of processes within it: biology, chemistry, geology, meteorology, and physics as well as geography.

Many do not know that the IMA houses two different libraries. The Stout Reference Library and the Horticultural Society Library provide numerous resources for their visitors, which mainly consist of students, IMA Staff, docents, collectors, researchers and even members of the community. The Stout Reference Library “focuses on the encyclopedia collection of the Indianapolis Museum of Art, while also providing general information about art and art history of all periods.” (Stout Reference Library, 2017) The Horticultural Society Library “houses more than 2,000 volumes, including general reference books and books on landscaping, specific plant families and horticulture.” (Horticultural Society Library, 2017) I mention the libraries because this semester, I am technically considered a library and archives intern at the IMA. My mentor however is the archivist, Samantha Norling. She has done impressive work at the IMA in such a short time. She jump-started the Archives online portal, which consists of thousands of digitized items from the archives. The IMA received a “generous grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH)” (Documenting Modern Living, 2017), that allowed for 17,000 items from the Miller House and Garden archival collection to be digitized.

This is my homework (let 's better call it 'personal research ') for this unit. I have combined my interests in archaeology and museum studies, and I have created an interdisciplinary report.

So many people see history as something dry and lifeless but in reality it is a study that is full of life. There is no better way to see this than through the lens of archaeological artifacts. The people of the past are intrinsically a part of these objects. They were shaped by human hands; some were used in everyday life while others only meant to be appreciated as art. In any case, they show the vitality of history which can sometimes be obscured by the centuries. I want to work with a collection that deals with archaeological artifacts, and ideally I would like to work with objects of Greek or Roman origins. One day I would like the opportunity to create an exhibit where the viewer can see how the objects relate to a whole as well as their own individual characteristics. I want others to have the same sort of experience I had while walking through the Byzantine and Christian Museum; I want them to have a moment of connection to the past and see how alive history can be. I am especially interested in the courses that the Museology program offers which teach the proper methods to curate archaeological collections. The experience of working with the objects in the Burke Museum will benefit my goal of curating a

Prior to applying to archaeology graduate school next fall, field school experience that will train me in survey, excavation, identification, and meticulous record-keeping of artifacts and botanical remains is imperative. I have performed research in Dr. Kacy Hollenback’s laboratory at SMU, preparing soil samples for analysis, but have yet to work with material culture. The Mohegan

What I have found surprising about my professional experience so far is how much I have come to enjoy conducting oral histories and working in an archival setting. While volunteering with the Los Alamos Historical Society, my mentor has given me the primary task of helping them complete their oral history project, which has been an ongoing project for the society for nearly a year and a half. The oral history project has provided me with a new perspective of the past. The other task that my mentor has given me is to help the historical society to catalog their archive’s artifacts. I was surprised while cataloging the archive’s artifacts the amount of photographs, videos, and many other historical objects that the historical society possesses. While the projects that my mentor has instructed me to work on while volunteering with the historical society has surprised me in several ways, I

The woman who I spoke to at the front desk was very kind and considerate. She was very friendly and trusting and I made me very excited to see the gallery. I was also very encouraged at how many children were present and enjoying their learning experience. I believe that the majority of archaeology’s worth comes from how the public benefits, even if it is only some joy at learning an interesting fact. Seeing children introduced to history and archaeology so young and enjoying the encounter is one that will always bring me a great amount of joy. So, although I wish adults could also benefit from this museum, I truly appreciate its ability to engage childrens’

As part of the Honors Program students are required to do an Honors thesis. This thesis requires you to complete a significant piece of original research or creative work in your undergraduate career. Whiles there’s no doubt that this might be challenging and time consuming, it is a great experience overall. This project encourages you to try something new, to expand your knowledge academically, or to creatively do something that you’re interested in.

Session held at the SVABA center. During session, DI and Gabriel worked on telling experiences in simple sentence. 3/4 trails, Gabriel was able to tell experiences in simple sentence. 14/23 trails, Gabriel was able to follow one step instructions independently. Outdoor activity, DI and Gabriel worked on safety skills before crossing the street and holding hands while walking inside the store. During peer play, Gabriel independently observed peer play and need it a full model prompt to asked peer if he can play. Gabriel was able to keep engaged playing with peer approximately 15 minutes. DI acknowledged Gabriel good behavior by giving him complements such as awesome job play with peer, great job walking with DI.

I want to participate in Bridge II because I could really benefit from the preparatory work for organic chemistry offered through Bridge II. From Bridge II, I hope to gain how to study and do well in the organic chemistry class at Northwestern. I want to be able to improve how I learn and utilize chemistry for not just the organic chemistry class, but also apply the techniques to my other classes and career. As a low income student, I feel a lot of pressure to do well in hard courses like organic chemistry and participating in Bridge II will hopefully relieve some of this stress.

In this experiment, Eisenberger, Master, Inagaki, Taylor, Shirinyan, Lieberman, and Naliboff further research the hypothesis that attachment figures may act as safety signal to an individual during a threatening experience observing changes in neural mechanism to support this theory, specifically the ventromedial prefrontal cortex, the neural region involved in signalling safety and reducing stress and threat. The researchers inflicted painful stimuli upon female participants who were involved in a long term romantic relationships and observed activity in the participants’ respective ventromedial prefrontal cortex as the participants were shown control images and images of their loved ones. The results to this experiment were that the participants themselves reported less pain while viewing partner pictures, reduction in pain related neural activity and increased activity in the ventromedial prefrontal cortex, the VMPFC Activation is associated with reduced pain ratings and reduced pain-related neural activity. The researchers note that the greater the VMPFC activity, the longer the relationship length and the greater the trust in the partner’s support which supports the theory that the VMPFC responds

A group of Chinese construction workers found an odd object in the ground when they were trying to widen a road. They discovered the object was very old. They started digging around the object to try to determine what it was. However, when they discovered what it was, they knew that they would need help.

Last August I started working on my Girl Scout Gold Award, the highest award that can be earned in Girl Scouts. This is an individual project for the girl to lead while incorporating the help of others. It must address a global issue in my neighborhood. The award consists of at least 80 hours of working on a community service project and 15 hours of that could go towards planning. I chose to remodel the activities room at Sunset Nursing Home. I chose this to be my project because my great-grandfather is a resident at Sunset Nursing Home. I spent a lot of time interacting with the residents and wanted to focus on doing something positive for them. I had to fill out paperwork to explain my vision on how I was going to do it and when I wanted

My years of academic training and field experience have adequately prepared me for such a project and I would be honoured to be included as part of your team. I recently graduated from the University of Cambridge in Archaeological Sciences. This is in addition to my BSc in Archaeology. Although my background is in archaeological techniques, I am positive that I have a lot to offer should I be presented with the opportunity, and should I ever fall short, I am constantly working to improve and hone my skills.
