We are testing a new system for linking grants to scientists.
The funding information displayed below comes from the
NIH Research Portfolio Online Reporting Tools and the
NSF Award Database.
The grant data on this page is limited to grants awarded in the United States and is thus partial. It can nonetheless be used to understand how funding patterns influence mentorship networks and vice-versa, which has deep implications on how research is done.

Seeing Through Symmetry
Symmetry is utilized as a fundamental paradigm in a multidisciplinary course whose purpose is to guide humanities students to both comprehend and become excited about the scientific world. Through sensory-rich examples of symmetry in a domain they know, these students are then stimulated to journey across this bridge into the realm of science.The course begins by illustrating pleasing patterns in the sciences and in the arts; this leads to a general definition of symmetry. We then characterize symmetry using elementary mathematical notions. Next we go on to see examples of symmetry in art and in mathematics as well as in poetry and in music. Then we display the existence of symmetry in physics, chemistry, biology, and cosmology. A brief excursion into asymmetry ends the course.Students are able to explicitly develop their quantitative abilities and analogical thinking by using concepts of symmetry both as a method within a discipline and as a bridge between disciplines. They develop these abilities, in part, through the medium of a highly graphical laboratory experience that utilizes computers for understanding many facets of symmetry and for generating their own patterns through the use of exploratory-based software packages. Written and oral communication are emphasized through classroom discussions, exams, laboratory discussions and reports, and through a term project. The multimedia course is taught in an assembled lecture-discussion setting, and the labs are an opportunity for students to engage in collaborative learning. A term project requires each student to choose a topic from one of the science-based categories discussed in the course. Every student will submit an essay explaining his or her project as well as demonstrating the project to the class. Occasional guest lectures and a trip to a science museum are planned to promote further enjoyment of the course.
