The perceived unchangeable, and hence untreatable, nature of aging i...

Ever considered SystemC ?

In recent years a lot of new C-based design languages have been developed. They all promise a smoother transition from a high level to a low level description of a hardware system. A disadvantage of these new languages is that a lot of simulation models of e.g. FPGA-cores are only available in standard languages like VHDL or Verilog. This makes it hard to develop a complete system with one of t...

Have you ever Considered Being a Seismologist ?

Undergraduate Seismology Internship (pdf) As a Math major I loved the beauty of high level Mathematics but struggled to see the application. In Physics I found a relevant and tangible application to the beauty of Mathematics. However, I wanted to apply my new craft to a field that would affect people's day to day lives. When I stumbled across exploration seismology as an undergraduate student, ...

Has evidence‐based medicine ever been modern? A Latour‐inspired understanding of a changing EBM

Evidence-based health care (EBHC), previously evidence-based medicine (EBM), is considered by many to have modernized health care and brought it from an authority-based past to a more rationalist, scientific grounding. But recent concerns and criticisms pose serious challenges and urge us to look at the fundamentals of a changing EBHC. In this paper, we present French philosopher Bruno Latour's...
