Post-Bridge: Bone Making Video!

Hey Guys,

I don't know how many of you will look at the blog, now that bridge is over, but here is a link to the video of us making bones. The video, by coincidence, seems to be footage mostly of our group!

I hope you are all doing well. Enjoy the rest of your summer. Best wishes, Meg

Today's lecture is on the Chicago Cultural Center's Synesthesia Exhibit.

Synesthesia: syn·es·the·sia also syn·aes·the·sia (sĭn'ĭs-thē'zhə)
n.
1.) A condition in which one type of stimulation evokes the sensation of another, as when the hearing of a sound produces the visualization of a color.
2.) A sensation felt in one part of the body as a result of stimulus applied to another, as in referred pain.
3.) The description of one kind of sense impression by using words that normally describe another.

Please click on this link and read the "WHY" section of this website to understand more about this exhibit and what you will hear talked about today. Can you come up with an example of synesthesia occurring in your own life? What questions do you have about this topic? Come up with ONE question.

The One Lingering Question

Similar to yesterday, we want you to think of one important question about college that you would want answered by students, professors and/or administrators. Today's afternoon activity will be a lecture/panel discussion, where you will get the opportunity to ask these people questions regarding the school, student life, your major, and life in the LOOP. Please brainstorm and post only one important question.
