<br />
<br />
==Booty - June 28==<br />
Find the treasure! Tuesday the 28th starting at 8:00 at the field behind the gym. Be prompt and bring running shoes (or something that will get you through ~3 miles on mixed terrain at a fairly slow pace), a flashlight (if you have one), and $5 for hydration. Sign up below for a (potentially) life changing experience and at minimum a solid break from lectures: <br><br />

==Geographic Information Systems and You!==<br />
<br />
Clio can do a short course in GIS next week if interested, please sign up below and maybe write your background (jk, I know everyone's background by now). Perhaps Nathan can chime in, as he is a GIS expert super hero. We can do it at lunch if you want.<br />
<br />
Questions: what software do i need? none. is gis fun? it can be... what will i learn? how to do spatial analysis on anything (location of schools...rivers...people's IP addresses...)<br />

==Present your own research==<br />
<br />
there are many others with very inspiring and ready to present research findings, so the idea would be to have the last small session this '''Tuesday''' let's say 4.15 - 5.45 ...15 min each (so cut it down to the essentials! ...max 10 slides, if any!) and leave some room for discussion... so if you're ready and want some constructive feedback, just put here the title of your potential presentation, and we'll see if we get a critical mass that's interested:<br />
<br />
- Miles: "TCP/IP: Why the Internet is the internet." History of the early international spread of the Internet, and how the politics of the Cold War are embedded in the current network. 21 slides, 20 minutes, but it goes fast.<br />
<br />
-Elliot Aguilar:"You got it from your mama: a probabilistic model of cultural genealogies."<br />
<br />
- Nathan: "When does geography matter? From geosimulation to geovisualization."<br />
<br />
-Josh A: "Robot Evolution"<br />
<br />
- Sean: Cultural Evolution: The toughest gig in science<br />
<br />
==Community Lecture, 1930, 29 June==<br />
<b>From Democratic Consensus to Cannibalistic Hordes: The Principles of Collective Animal Behavior</b>[http://santafe.edu/gevent/detail/public/408/]<br><br />
Presented by Ian Couzin (Assistant Professor, Ecology and Evolutionary Biology, Princeton University)<br><br><br />
<br />
Anyone interested? - Nini<br />
<br />
Yep, we have a shuttle already scheduled and seats reserved. No need to worry about transportation. -JP<br />
<br />
==Carlsbad Caverns, White Sands, VLA==<br />
<br />
Im thinking of taking a trip to the carlsbad caverns, white sands and the VLA this weekend... we can also do some stargazing and perhaps stop at Roswell if people are interested since its on the way....<br />
<br />
Its going to be an overnight trip... 2 days... just want to see if people might be interested... i realize its far... but the caverns and white sands come highly recommended for this part of the country...<br />
<br />
I am open to doing this on the weekend after the program as well...<br />
<br />
I can rent a car...<br />
<br />
Heres the route I'm thinking....<br />
<br />
http://maps.google.com/maps?saddr=St+John's+College,+Camino+De+Cruz+Blanca,+Santa+Fe,+NM&daddr=3225+National+Parks+Hwy,+Carlsbad,+NM+88220+(Carlsbad+Caverns+National+Park)+to:white+sands+to:NRAO+Very+Large+Array,+Old+Highway+60,+Magdalena,+NM&hl=en&ll=33.94336,-105.710449&spn=4.419525,9.832764&sll=33.897777,-105.67749&sspn=4.421888,9.832764&geocode=FfM6IAIdKumv-SGbTeoLvFZoEQ%3BFR9E6gEdbqLE-SG9sju99z3Ubg%3BFVUG9AEdKLap-SHDIL9nhxjRNg%3BFU7rBwId07qV-SG06Y_KW2f8zg&mra=ls&z=7<br />
<br />
let me know if you're interested...<br />
<br />
-Raghav<br />
<br />
<br />
==Stargazing==<br />
<br />
I'd like to spend an evening star-gazing - maybe try to get far enough out of town to avoid major light pollution. The next new moon is July 1st, so we might look to do it towards the end of the program. <br />
<br />
UPDATE: Given folks' schedules, let's plan for stargazing the evening of Wednesday, June 29th. Those of us working on projects will want to have the evening of the 30th free. I will work on a location and further details with JP. I will also keep an eye on the weather, in case it looks like we might be clouded out. July 1 would be our fall back date. Check back later for more details. <br />
<br />
NB: Some people have expressed concern (perhaps hope) that I am organizing this trip as an excuse to make out in a remote location. Sadly, no; I really am nerd enough to want a quasi-scientific look at a clear night's sky. That is my full agenda, and I'm slightly embarrassed I'm not able to say otherwise. Of course, you are welcome to make out on this trip, but please be considerate of those of us who are not planning to do so. <br />
<br />
- Miles <br />
<br />
I'd be interested, might be able to get a telescope, and know a few locations. (JP) <br><br />
Cristina M.: Count me in and keep me informed. Great idea, Miles! <br><br />
<br />
Shweta S : I am also interested, but I have an early morning flight on 2nd July . So, I have to be at Peterson circle by 4 Am for the Pick up shuttle to airport. If possible, I am certainly in for Star Gazing, haven't done it for years.<br><br />
<br />
I am also very interested... but may fly out on the 1st in the evening... Could we perhaps do this on a weeknight? -Raghav<br />
<br />
count on me if it is before July 2... -----Yangjing<br />
<br />
I'm in as well! -David B<br />
<br />
==Early morning hiking==<br />
<br />
Would anybody would be interested in hiking the Atalaya Mountain Trail (or anywhere else) before dawn to watch the sunrise from the top?<br />
<br />
When?<br />
<br />
I am kind of tempted to do it on a weekday, but I may end up doing it alone. Unless a few people are interested, we could do it, let's say, this Saturday? The sun rises at about 5h45 these days.<br />
<br />
==Swimming?==<br />
Anyone want to go swimming with me (Ed)? There's a pool about 2 miles away that's open till 8:30, was thinking of walking down after class.<br />
<br />
Count me in for the drowning. When? - Nini<br />
<br />
I'd like to join -Yangjing<br />
I'm in. Where do we meet?--Elliot Aguilar<br />
<br />
==Museum Trip Friday June 24th==<br />
It's $8 for admission to the Georgia O'Keefe Museum. I want to go after lecture next week; sounds like a cool exhibit about the relationship between photography and contemporary art. Let's meet outside the student center at 4:30pm. The museum is open until 7pm. We can potentially grab dinner and drinks downtown afterwards.<br />
I'll drive down in my car from St. Johns; I've got space for 4 more.<br />
<br />
Note: let's join the Canyon Drive walk tomorrow instead. Free art > museums. :) -Nora<br><br />
Also, the art museum (modern/contemporary art) is free on Friday afternoons and close at 8. -Nini<br />
<br />
==Frisbee==<br />
Ok, look. I (Ed) like frisbee. By virtue of being into science, you people must at some level also like frisbee. So, let's play frisbee. There are lots of ways to do this:<br />
1) Throwing<br />
2) Throwing with our arms tucked in like T-Rex's<br />
3) Imbibing beverages and throwing<br />
4) Spinning the disc on our fingers (ooo fancy) and then throwing it<br />
5) Playing cower (ask me for details)<br />
<br />
Who has a disc? - Ed<br />
<br />
I would be up for throwing, and also for a game of Ultimate. Thursday evening (the 16th) is free on our schedule. We can buy a disc. -Miles<br />
<br />
I've got a disc. Just let me know whenever you want it. -AA<br />
<br />
I am soo in. Cristina M.<br />
<br />
I want to play cower! With beverages! -Kam<br />
<br />
==Dinner at Epazote - Tuesday July 28 at 8 pm==<br />
<br />
I have a reservation for 8 pm on Tuesday at Epazote. If you want to join, please email me as soon as possible so I can adjust the reservation. - Cali<br />
<br />
The St. John's cafeteria is great, but Santa Fe is also the home of many unique, world-class restaurants. I would like to go out for a nice dinner some night and would love company. Any of the places below are kind of pricey and will require reservations, so please post preferences for date and location and I'll pull something together. Here are a few to get you started, with reviews and menus.<br />
<br />
Epazote is one of my favorites and I've always been treated very well by the chef. I think that gets my vote. -[[JP]]<br />
<br />
This sounds great - I'd be interested too. Fran.<br />
<br />
I am in too. Cristina B.<br />
<br />
I am interested too. Leonida G.<br />

I am looking for people interested in mountain biking either early morning, pre-dinner or on the weekend. If you don't have a bike there are a number of shops around town that rent. -Josh A<br />
<br />
==Completed Events==<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
===Taos Earthships, Rio Grande Gorge, High Country===<br />
Taos is a small town about 60 miles North of Santa Fe. It's known for the Taos Indian Pueblo, an artist colony, skiing, and the Taos Earthships. Depending on who's interested, we could stop by some wineries on the way up/down. The drive up alone is worth it.<br />
<br />
Which day is this trip? -Nora<br />
<br />
We'll be going this Saturday, leaving at 10:00am<br />
<br />
Here's a link to the proposed route: [http://maps.google.com/maps?saddr=St+John's+College,+Camino+De+Cruz+Blanca,+Santa+Fe,+NM&daddr=35.95257,-105.89925+to:US-64+W+to:Espanola,+NM&hl=en&sll=35.988007,-105.711823&sspn=0.846719,1.783905&geocode=FfM6IAIdKumv-SGbTeoLvFZoEQ%3BFbqXJAIdDhuw-SllKxaBwDYYhzHMpwy8Lvl_1A%3BFYLCLAIdPmGy-Q%3BFZhYJQIdrpSt-SkTO_AfiDwYhzFpPdgmCLwHRA&mra=dpe&mrsp=1&sz=10&via=1&t=h&z=10 Low Road/High Road to Taos]<br />

===NRAO Very Large Array===<br />
<br />
National Radio Astronomy Observatory - Very Large Array<br />
<br />
Its a bit of a hike... about a 3 hour drive... but should be totally worth it. Perhaps we could do this and los alamos together on the same day. -Raghav<br />
<br />
Heres the description from the website(http://www.vla.nrao.edu/)-<br />
<br />
The Very Large Array, one of the world's premier astronomical radio observatories, consists of 27 radio antennas in a Y-shaped configuration on the Plains of San Agustin fifty miles west of Socorro, New Mexico. Each antenna is 25 meters (82 feet) in diameter. The data from the antennas is combined electronically to give the resolution of an antenna 36km (22 miles) across, with the sensitivity of a dish 130 meters (422 feet) in diameter.<br />
<br />
I'd love to go and would be willing to rent a car and drive. Unfortunately Los Alamos is in a different direction (NW) than VLA by quite a lot. I suggest looking above for other trips in planning for Los Alamos.<br />
<br />
I think this trip depends on when we go (when is Taos Earthships trip?) and whatever else people have planned for. Note that this trip is 3 hours and there's very little else besides VLA in that neighborhood of NM - this trip would be optimal if we can hook on this visit to any other attractions nearby (or in Albuquerque). Any suggestions? - Nini<br />
<br />
If you do go to the VLA, I'd recommend combining it with a visit to Kelly Mine, an old ghost town near Magdalena which is pretty neat to poke around. There is also a great microbrewery in Socorro (called Socorro Springs). Also, the town of Magdalena is in the process of trying to make itself a mini-artists' haven, so it could be fun to poke around the galleries there. Any more questions about the region and I'll see what I can do; my mom is from Socorro, and I can ask her for further suggestions. -Nora<br />
<br />
Mind signing up to indicate interest?<br><br />
1. <br />
2. Chris G - Have a car, but all depends on when we go...<br><br />
3. Cali - I would go, looks cool (can rent a car, don't have one)<br><br />
4. Raghav - Definitely wanna go... Can rent a car<br><br />

//Cristina M: Thursday after lectures is perfect! Though they have this on Friday: https://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=151999048206158. Thanks [[JP]]!<br />
Given the talks on Thursday, Friday (if there is time) may be better. Do we need to make a reservation (they recommend so on several places on their website) EH.<br />
<br />
I'd be happy for Friday night. There are some fairly large private tubs available. We should look into that. (JP)<br />

===Backpacking in the Pecos Wilderness===<br />
I've been planning a full-weekend backpacking trip with a local friend of mine. We'd probably camp Friday night at the trailhead (or his parents cabin) to get an early start, set up camp, then do a lighter hike to summit Las Truchas, the second highest peak in NM. We'd return on Sunday. At a minimum, you'd need a backpack and sleeping bag. We might be able to rustle up other gear. Cars shouldn't be an issue.<br />

<br />
<br />
==Booty - June 28==<br />
Find the treasure! Tuesday the 28th starting at 8:00 at the field behind the gym. Be prompt and bring running shoes (or something that will get you through ~3 miles on mixed terrain at a fairly slow pace), a flashlight (if you have one), and $5 for hydration. Sign up below for a (potentially) life changing experience and at minimum a solid break from lectures: <br><br />

==Geographic Information Systems and You!==<br />
<br />
Clio can do a short course in GIS next week if interested, please sign up below and maybe write your background (jk, I know everyone's background by now). Perhaps Nathan can chime in, as he is a GIS expert super hero. We can do it at lunch if you want.<br />
<br />
Questions: what software do i need? none. is gis fun? it can be... what will i learn? how to do spatial analysis on anything (location of schools...rivers...people's IP addresses...)<br />

==Present your own research==<br />
<br />
there are many others with very inspiring and ready to present research findings, so the idea would be to have a small session next '''Tuesday''' after lectures: let's say 4.30 - 6.00 (or longer, depending on how many of us want to / are ready to present) ...let's say 15 min each (so cut it down to the essentials! ...max 10 slides, if any!) and leave some room for discussion... so if you're ready and want some constructive feedback, just put here the title of your potential presentation, and we'll see if we get a critical mass that's interested:<br />
<br />
- Aaron: Characterization of microbial promoter architectures for rational reengineering<br />
<br />
<br />
- Ed: "Shmoozing between enzyme kinetics and classical mechanics"<br />
<br />
- Shweta: Role of bio-geochemical cycles in economic activities - Current inventory for US economy.<br />
<br />
- Victor: current ideas in interdisciplinary education, as informed by case studies & interdisciplinarity philosophy<br />
<br />
- Alexis: stuff related to maximum entropy, e.g., inductive reasoning, impossibility of scientific controversy, etc.<br />
<br />
- ...<br />
<br />
<br />
Week after (last week):<br />
<br />
- Ryan: complexity<br />
<br />
- Miles: "TCP/IP: Why the Internet is the internet." History of the early international spread of the Internet, and how the politics of the Cold War are embedded in the current network. 21 slides, 20 minutes, but it goes fast.<br />
<br />
-Elliot Aguilar:"You got it from your mama: a probabilistic model of cultural genealogies."<br />
<br />
- Nathan: "When does geography matter? From geosimulation to geovisualization."<br />
<br />
-Josh A: "Robot Evolution"<br />

==Community Lecture, 1930, 29 June==<br />
<b>From Democratic Consensus to Cannibalistic Hordes: The Principles of Collective Animal Behavior</b>[http://santafe.edu/gevent/detail/public/408/]<br><br />
Presented by Ian Couzin (Assistant Professor, Ecology and Evolutionary Biology, Princeton University)<br><br><br />
<br />
Anyone interested? - Nini<br />
<br />
Yep, we have a shuttle already scheduled and seats reserved. No need to worry about transportation. -JP<br />
<br />
==Carlsbad Caverns, White Sands, VLA==<br />
<br />
Im thinking of taking a trip to the carlsbad caverns, white sands and the VLA this weekend... we can also do some stargazing and perhaps stop at Roswell if people are interested since its on the way....<br />
<br />
Its going to be an overnight trip... 2 days... just want to see if people might be interested... i realize its far... but the caverns and white sands come highly recommended for this part of the country...<br />
<br />
I am open to doing this on the weekend after the program as well...<br />
<br />
I can rent a car...<br />
<br />
Heres the route I'm thinking....<br />
<br />
http://maps.google.com/maps?saddr=St+John's+College,+Camino+De+Cruz+Blanca,+Santa+Fe,+NM&daddr=3225+National+Parks+Hwy,+Carlsbad,+NM+88220+(Carlsbad+Caverns+National+Park)+to:white+sands+to:NRAO+Very+Large+Array,+Old+Highway+60,+Magdalena,+NM&hl=en&ll=33.94336,-105.710449&spn=4.419525,9.832764&sll=33.897777,-105.67749&sspn=4.421888,9.832764&geocode=FfM6IAIdKumv-SGbTeoLvFZoEQ%3BFR9E6gEdbqLE-SG9sju99z3Ubg%3BFVUG9AEdKLap-SHDIL9nhxjRNg%3BFU7rBwId07qV-SG06Y_KW2f8zg&mra=ls&z=7<br />
<br />
let me know if you're interested...<br />
<br />
-Raghav<br />
<br />
<br />
==Stargazing==<br />
<br />
I'd like to spend an evening star-gazing - maybe try to get far enough out of town to avoid major light pollution. The next new moon is July 1st, so we might look to do it towards the end of the program. <br />
<br />
UPDATE: Given folks' schedules, let's plan for stargazing the evening of Wednesday, June 29th. Those of us working on projects will want to have the evening of the 30th free. I will work on a location and further details with JP. I will also keep an eye on the weather, in case it looks like we might be clouded out. July 1 would be our fall back date. Check back later for more details. <br />
<br />
NB: Some people have expressed concern (perhaps hope) that I am organizing this trip as an excuse to make out in a remote location. Sadly, no; I really am nerd enough to want a quasi-scientific look at a clear night's sky. That is my full agenda, and I'm slightly embarrassed I'm not able to say otherwise. Of course, you are welcome to make out on this trip, but please be considerate of those of us who are not planning to do so. <br />
<br />
- Miles <br />
<br />
I'd be interested, might be able to get a telescope, and know a few locations. (JP) <br><br />
Cristina M.: Count me in and keep me informed. Great idea, Miles! <br><br />
<br />
Shweta S : I am also interested, but I have an early morning flight on 2nd July . So, I have to be at Peterson circle by 4 Am for the Pick up shuttle to airport. If possible, I am certainly in for Star Gazing, haven't done it for years.<br><br />
<br />
I am also very interested... but may fly out on the 1st in the evening... Could we perhaps do this on a weeknight? -Raghav<br />
<br />
count on me if it is before July 2... -----Yangjing<br />
<br />
I'm in as well! -David B<br />
<br />
==Early morning hiking==<br />
<br />
Would anybody would be interested in hiking the Atalaya Mountain Trail (or anywhere else) before dawn to watch the sunrise from the top?<br />
<br />
When?<br />
<br />
I am kind of tempted to do it on a weekday, but I may end up doing it alone. Unless a few people are interested, we could do it, let's say, this Saturday? The sun rises at about 5h45 these days.<br />
<br />
==Swimming?==<br />
Anyone want to go swimming with me (Ed)? There's a pool about 2 miles away that's open till 8:30, was thinking of walking down after class.<br />
<br />
Count me in for the drowning. When? - Nini<br />
<br />
I'd like to join -Yangjing<br />
I'm in. Where do we meet?--Elliot Aguilar<br />
<br />
==Museum Trip Friday June 24th==<br />
It's $8 for admission to the Georgia O'Keefe Museum. I want to go after lecture next week; sounds like a cool exhibit about the relationship between photography and contemporary art. Let's meet outside the student center at 4:30pm. The museum is open until 7pm. We can potentially grab dinner and drinks downtown afterwards.<br />
I'll drive down in my car from St. Johns; I've got space for 4 more.<br />
<br />
Note: let's join the Canyon Drive walk tomorrow instead. Free art > museums. :) -Nora<br><br />
Also, the art museum (modern/contemporary art) is free on Friday afternoons and close at 8. -Nini<br />
<br />
==Frisbee==<br />
Ok, look. I (Ed) like frisbee. By virtue of being into science, you people must at some level also like frisbee. So, let's play frisbee. There are lots of ways to do this:<br />
1) Throwing<br />
2) Throwing with our arms tucked in like T-Rex's<br />
3) Imbibing beverages and throwing<br />
4) Spinning the disc on our fingers (ooo fancy) and then throwing it<br />
5) Playing cower (ask me for details)<br />
<br />
Who has a disc? - Ed<br />
<br />
I would be up for throwing, and also for a game of Ultimate. Thursday evening (the 16th) is free on our schedule. We can buy a disc. -Miles<br />
<br />
I've got a disc. Just let me know whenever you want it. -AA<br />
<br />
I am soo in. Cristina M.<br />
<br />
I want to play cower! With beverages! -Kam<br />
<br />
==Dinner at Epazote - Tuesday July 28 at 8 pm==<br />
<br />
I have a reservation for 8 pm on Tuesday at Epazote. If you want to join, please email me as soon as possible so I can adjust the reservation. - Cali<br />
<br />
The St. John's cafeteria is great, but Santa Fe is also the home of many unique, world-class restaurants. I would like to go out for a nice dinner some night and would love company. Any of the places below are kind of pricey and will require reservations, so please post preferences for date and location and I'll pull something together. Here are a few to get you started, with reviews and menus.<br />
<br />
Epazote is one of my favorites and I've always been treated very well by the chef. I think that gets my vote. -[[JP]]<br />
<br />
This sounds great - I'd be interested too. Fran.<br />
<br />
I am in too. Cristina B.<br />

I am looking for people interested in mountain biking either early morning, pre-dinner or on the weekend. If you don't have a bike there are a number of shops around town that rent. -Josh A<br />
<br />
==Completed Events==<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
===Taos Earthships, Rio Grande Gorge, High Country===<br />
Taos is a small town about 60 miles North of Santa Fe. It's known for the Taos Indian Pueblo, an artist colony, skiing, and the Taos Earthships. Depending on who's interested, we could stop by some wineries on the way up/down. The drive up alone is worth it.<br />
<br />
Which day is this trip? -Nora<br />
<br />
We'll be going this Saturday, leaving at 10:00am<br />
<br />

===NRAO Very Large Array===<br />
<br />
National Radio Astronomy Observatory - Very Large Array<br />
<br />
Its a bit of a hike... about a 3 hour drive... but should be totally worth it. Perhaps we could do this and los alamos together on the same day. -Raghav<br />
<br />
Heres the description from the website(http://www.vla.nrao.edu/)-<br />
<br />
The Very Large Array, one of the world's premier astronomical radio observatories, consists of 27 radio antennas in a Y-shaped configuration on the Plains of San Agustin fifty miles west of Socorro, New Mexico. Each antenna is 25 meters (82 feet) in diameter. The data from the antennas is combined electronically to give the resolution of an antenna 36km (22 miles) across, with the sensitivity of a dish 130 meters (422 feet) in diameter.<br />
<br />
I'd love to go and would be willing to rent a car and drive. Unfortunately Los Alamos is in a different direction (NW) than VLA by quite a lot. I suggest looking above for other trips in planning for Los Alamos.<br />
<br />
I think this trip depends on when we go (when is Taos Earthships trip?) and whatever else people have planned for. Note that this trip is 3 hours and there's very little else besides VLA in that neighborhood of NM - this trip would be optimal if we can hook on this visit to any other attractions nearby (or in Albuquerque). Any suggestions? - Nini<br />
<br />
If you do go to the VLA, I'd recommend combining it with a visit to Kelly Mine, an old ghost town near Magdalena which is pretty neat to poke around. There is also a great microbrewery in Socorro (called Socorro Springs). Also, the town of Magdalena is in the process of trying to make itself a mini-artists' haven, so it could be fun to poke around the galleries there. Any more questions about the region and I'll see what I can do; my mom is from Socorro, and I can ask her for further suggestions. -Nora<br />
<br />
Mind signing up to indicate interest?<br><br />

2. Chris G - Have a car, but all depends on when we go...<br><br />
3. Cali - I would go, looks cool (can rent a car, don't have one)<br><br />

Given the talks on Thursday, Friday (if there is time) may be better. Do we need to make a reservation (they recommend so on several places on their website) EH.<br />
<br />
I'd be happy for Friday night. There are some fairly large private tubs available. We should look into that. (JP)<br />

===Backpacking in the Pecos Wilderness===<br />
I've been planning a full-weekend backpacking trip with a local friend of mine. We'd probably camp Friday night at the trailhead (or his parents cabin) to get an early start, set up camp, then do a lighter hike to summit Las Truchas, the second highest peak in NM. We'd return on Sunday. At a minimum, you'd need a backpack and sleeping bag. We might be able to rustle up other gear. Cars shouldn't be an issue.<br />

Please put your name here and maybe we can plan something for the weekend together.<br />
<br />
<br />
==Booty - June 28==<br />
Find the treasure! Tuesday the 28th starting at 8:00 at the field behind the gym. Be prompt and bring running shoes (or something that will get you through ~3 miles on mixed terrain at a fairly slow pace), a flashlight (if you have one), and $5 for hydration.

==Geographic Information Systems and You!==<br />
<br />
Clio can do a short course in GIS next week if interested, please sign up below and maybe write your background (jk, I know everyone's background by now). Perhaps Nathan can chime in, as he is a GIS expert super hero. We can do it at lunch if you want.<br />
<br />
Questions: what software do i need? none. is gis fun? it can be... what will i learn? how to do spatial analysis on anything (location of schools...rivers...people's IP addresses...)<br />

==Present your own research==<br />
<br />
there are many others with very inspiring and ready to present research findings, so the idea would be to have a small session next '''Tuesday''' after lectures: let's say 4.30 - 6.00 (or longer, depending on how many of us want to / are ready to present) ...let's say 15 min each (so cut it down to the essentials! ...max 10 slides, if any!) and leave some room for discussion... so if you're ready and want some constructive feedback, just put here the title of your potential presentation, and we'll see if we get a critical mass that's interested:<br />
<br />
- Aaron: Characterization of microbial promoter architectures for rational reengineering<br />
<br />
<br />
- Ed: "Shmoozing between enzyme kinetics and classical mechanics"<br />
<br />
- Shweta: Role of bio-geochemical cycles in economic activities - Current inventory for US economy.<br />
<br />
- Victor: current ideas in interdisciplinary education, as informed by case studies & interdisciplinarity philosophy<br />
<br />
- Alexis: stuff related to maximum entropy, e.g., inductive reasoning, impossibility of scientific controversy, etc.<br />
<br />
- ...<br />
<br />
<br />
Week after (last week):<br />
<br />
- Ryan: complexity<br />
<br />
- Miles: "TCP/IP: Why the Internet is the internet." History of the early international spread of the Internet, and how the politics of the Cold War are embedded in the current network. 21 slides, 20 minutes, but it goes fast.<br />
<br />
-Elliot Aguilar:"You got it from your mama: a probabilistic model of cultural genealogies."<br />
<br />
- Nathan: "When does geography matter? From geosimulation to geovisualization."<br />
<br />
-Josh A: "Robot Evolution"<br />

==Community Lecture, 1930, 29 June==<br />
<b>From Democratic Consensus to Cannibalistic Hordes: The Principles of Collective Animal Behavior</b>[http://santafe.edu/gevent/detail/public/408/]<br><br />
Presented by Ian Couzin (Assistant Professor, Ecology and Evolutionary Biology, Princeton University)<br><br><br />
<br />
Anyone interested? - Nini<br />
<br />
Yep, we have a shuttle already scheduled and seats reserved. No need to worry about transportation. -JP<br />
<br />
==Carlsbad Caverns, White Sands, VLA==<br />
<br />
Im thinking of taking a trip to the carlsbad caverns, white sands and the VLA this weekend... we can also do some stargazing and perhaps stop at Roswell if people are interested since its on the way....<br />
<br />
Its going to be an overnight trip... 2 days... just want to see if people might be interested... i realize its far... but the caverns and white sands come highly recommended for this part of the country...<br />
<br />
I am open to doing this on the weekend after the program as well...<br />
<br />
I can rent a car...<br />
<br />
Heres the route I'm thinking....<br />
<br />
http://maps.google.com/maps?saddr=St+John's+College,+Camino+De+Cruz+Blanca,+Santa+Fe,+NM&daddr=3225+National+Parks+Hwy,+Carlsbad,+NM+88220+(Carlsbad+Caverns+National+Park)+to:white+sands+to:NRAO+Very+Large+Array,+Old+Highway+60,+Magdalena,+NM&hl=en&ll=33.94336,-105.710449&spn=4.419525,9.832764&sll=33.897777,-105.67749&sspn=4.421888,9.832764&geocode=FfM6IAIdKumv-SGbTeoLvFZoEQ%3BFR9E6gEdbqLE-SG9sju99z3Ubg%3BFVUG9AEdKLap-SHDIL9nhxjRNg%3BFU7rBwId07qV-SG06Y_KW2f8zg&mra=ls&z=7<br />
<br />
let me know if you're interested...<br />
<br />
-Raghav<br />
<br />
<br />
==Stargazing==<br />
<br />
I'd like to spend an evening star-gazing - maybe try to get far enough out of town to avoid major light pollution. The next new moon is July 1st, so we might look to do it towards the end of the program. <br />
<br />
UPDATE: Given folks' schedules, let's plan for stargazing the evening of Wednesday, June 29th. Those of us working on projects will want to have the evening of the 30th free. I will work on a location and further details with JP. I will also keep an eye on the weather, in case it looks like we might be clouded out. July 1 would be our fall back date. Check back later for more details. <br />
<br />
NB: Some people have expressed concern (perhaps hope) that I am organizing this trip as an excuse to make out in a remote location. Sadly, no; I really am nerd enough to want a quasi-scientific look at a clear night's sky. That is my full agenda, and I'm slightly embarrassed I'm not able to say otherwise. Of course, you are welcome to make out on this trip, but please be considerate of those of us who are not planning to do so. <br />
<br />
- Miles <br />
<br />
I'd be interested, might be able to get a telescope, and know a few locations. (JP) <br><br />
Cristina M.: Count me in and keep me informed. Great idea, Miles! <br><br />
<br />
Shweta S : I am also interested, but I have an early morning flight on 2nd July . So, I have to be at Peterson circle by 4 Am for the Pick up shuttle to airport. If possible, I am certainly in for Star Gazing, haven't done it for years.<br><br />
<br />
I am also very interested... but may fly out on the 1st in the evening... Could we perhaps do this on a weeknight? -Raghav<br />
<br />
count on me if it is before July 2... -----Yangjing<br />
<br />
I'm in as well! -David B<br />
<br />
==Early morning hiking==<br />
<br />
Would anybody would be interested in hiking the Atalaya Mountain Trail (or anywhere else) before dawn to watch the sunrise from the top?<br />
<br />
When?<br />
<br />
I am kind of tempted to do it on a weekday, but I may end up doing it alone. Unless a few people are interested, we could do it, let's say, this Saturday? The sun rises at about 5h45 these days.<br />
<br />
==Swimming?==<br />
Anyone want to go swimming with me (Ed)? There's a pool about 2 miles away that's open till 8:30, was thinking of walking down after class.<br />
<br />
Count me in for the drowning. When? - Nini<br />
<br />
I'd like to join -Yangjing<br />
I'm in. Where do we meet?--Elliot Aguilar<br />
<br />
==Museum Trip Friday June 24th==<br />
It's $8 for admission to the Georgia O'Keefe Museum. I want to go after lecture next week; sounds like a cool exhibit about the relationship between photography and contemporary art. Let's meet outside the student center at 4:30pm. The museum is open until 7pm. We can potentially grab dinner and drinks downtown afterwards.<br />
I'll drive down in my car from St. Johns; I've got space for 4 more.<br />
<br />
Note: let's join the Canyon Drive walk tomorrow instead. Free art > museums. :) -Nora<br><br />
Also, the art museum (modern/contemporary art) is free on Friday afternoons and close at 8. -Nini<br />
<br />
==Frisbee==<br />
Ok, look. I (Ed) like frisbee. By virtue of being into science, you people must at some level also like frisbee. So, let's play frisbee. There are lots of ways to do this:<br />
1) Throwing<br />
2) Throwing with our arms tucked in like T-Rex's<br />
3) Imbibing beverages and throwing<br />
4) Spinning the disc on our fingers (ooo fancy) and then throwing it<br />
5) Playing cower (ask me for details)<br />
<br />
Who has a disc? - Ed<br />
<br />
I would be up for throwing, and also for a game of Ultimate. Thursday evening (the 16th) is free on our schedule. We can buy a disc. -Miles<br />
<br />
I've got a disc. Just let me know whenever you want it. -AA<br />
<br />
I am soo in. Cristina M.<br />
<br />
I want to play cower! With beverages! -Kam<br />
<br />
==Dinner at Epazote - Tuesday July 28 at 8 pm==<br />
<br />
I have a reservation for 8 pm on Tuesday at Epazote. If you want to join, please email me as soon as possible so I can adjust the reservation. - Cali<br />
<br />
The St. John's cafeteria is great, but Santa Fe is also the home of many unique, world-class restaurants. I would like to go out for a nice dinner some night and would love company. Any of the places below are kind of pricey and will require reservations, so please post preferences for date and location and I'll pull something together. Here are a few to get you started, with reviews and menus.<br />
<br />
Epazote is one of my favorites and I've always been treated very well by the chef. I think that gets my vote. -[[JP]]<br />
<br />
This sounds great - I'd be interested too. Fran.<br />

<br />
==Completed Events==<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
===Taos Earthships, Rio Grande Gorge, High Country===<br />
Taos is a small town about 60 miles North of Santa Fe. It's known for the Taos Indian Pueblo, an artist colony, skiing, and the Taos Earthships. Depending on who's interested, we could stop by some wineries on the way up/down. The drive up alone is worth it.<br />
<br />
Which day is this trip? -Nora<br />
<br />
We'll be going this Saturday, leaving at 10:00am<br />

===NRAO Very Large Array===<br />
<br />
National Radio Astronomy Observatory - Very Large Array<br />
<br />
Its a bit of a hike... about a 3 hour drive... but should be totally worth it. Perhaps we could do this and los alamos together on the same day. -Raghav<br />
<br />
Heres the description from the website(http://www.vla.nrao.edu/)-<br />
<br />
The Very Large Array, one of the world's premier astronomical radio observatories, consists of 27 radio antennas in a Y-shaped configuration on the Plains of San Agustin fifty miles west of Socorro, New Mexico. Each antenna is 25 meters (82 feet) in diameter. The data from the antennas is combined electronically to give the resolution of an antenna 36km (22 miles) across, with the sensitivity of a dish 130 meters (422 feet) in diameter.<br />
<br />
I'd love to go and would be willing to rent a car and drive. Unfortunately Los Alamos is in a different direction (NW) than VLA by quite a lot. I suggest looking above for other trips in planning for Los Alamos.<br />
<br />
I think this trip depends on when we go (when is Taos Earthships trip?) and whatever else people have planned for. Note that this trip is 3 hours and there's very little else besides VLA in that neighborhood of NM - this trip would be optimal if we can hook on this visit to any other attractions nearby (or in Albuquerque). Any suggestions? - Nini<br />
<br />
If you do go to the VLA, I'd recommend combining it with a visit to Kelly Mine, an old ghost town near Magdalena which is pretty neat to poke around. There is also a great microbrewery in Socorro (called Socorro Springs). Also, the town of Magdalena is in the process of trying to make itself a mini-artists' haven, so it could be fun to poke around the galleries there. Any more questions about the region and I'll see what I can do; my mom is from Socorro, and I can ask her for further suggestions. -Nora<br />
<br />
Mind signing up to indicate interest?<br><br />

2. Chris G - Have a car, but all depends on when we go...<br><br />
3. Cali - I would go, looks cool (can rent a car, don't have one)<br><br />

Given the talks on Thursday, Friday (if there is time) may be better. Do we need to make a reservation (they recommend so on several places on their website) EH.<br />
<br />
I'd be happy for Friday night. There are some fairly large private tubs available. We should look into that. (JP)<br />

===Yo La Tengo in Santa Fe, 17 June===<br />
<br />
For anyone interested, they're playing in town.<br />
<br />
I might be interested in attending if others are going - Josh <br><br />

===Backpacking in the Pecos Wilderness===<br />
I've been planning a full-weekend backpacking trip with a local friend of mine. We'd probably camp Friday night at the trailhead (or his parents cabin) to get an early start, set up camp, then do a lighter hike to summit Las Truchas, the second highest peak in NM. We'd return on Sunday. At a minimum, you'd need a backpack and sleeping bag. We might be able to rustle up other gear. Cars shouldn't be an issue.<br />

==Present your own research==<br />
<br />
there are many others with very inspiring and ready to present research findings, so the idea would be to have a small session next '''Tuesday''' after lectures: let's say 4.30 - 6.00 (or longer, depending on how many of us want to / are ready to present) ...let's say 15 min each (so cut it down to the essentials! ...max 10 slides, if any!) and leave some room for discussion... so if you're ready and want some constructive feedback, just put here the title of your potential presentation, and we'll see if we get a critical mass that's interested:<br />
<br />
- Aaron: Characterization of microbial promoter architectures for rational reengineering<br />
<br />
<br />
- Ed: "Shmoozing between enzyme kinetics and classical mechanics"<br />
<br />
- Shweta: Role of bio-geochemical cycles in economic activities - Current inventory for US economy.<br />
<br />
- Victor: current ideas in interdisciplinary education, as informed by case studies & interdisciplinarity philosophy<br />
<br />
- Alexis: stuff related to maximum entropy, e.g., inductive reasoning, impossibility of scientific controversy, etc.<br />
<br />
- ...<br />
<br />
<br />
Week after (last week):<br />
<br />
- Ryan: complexity<br />
<br />
- Miles: "TCP/IP: Why the Internet is the internet." History of the early international spread of the Internet, and how the politics of the Cold War are embedded in the current network. 21 slides, 20 minutes, but it goes fast.<br />

==Taos Earthships, Rio Grande Gorge, High Country==<br />
Taos is a small town about 60 miles North of Santa Fe. It's known for the Taos Indian Pueblo, an artist colony, skiing, and the Taos Earthships. Depending on who's interested, we could stop by some wineries on the way up/down. The drive up alone is worth it.<br />
<br />

Presented by Ian Couzin (Assistant Professor, Ecology and Evolutionary Biology, Princeton University)<br><br><br />

<br />
Yep, we have a shuttle already scheduled and seats reserved. No need to worry about transportation. -JP<br />
<br />
==Carlsbad Caverns, White Sands, VLA==<br />
<br />
Im thinking of taking a trip to the carlsbad caverns, white sands and the VLA this weekend... we can also do some stargazing and perhaps stop at Roswell if people are interested since its on the way....<br />
<br />
Its going to be an overnight trip... 2 days... just want to see if people might be interested... i realize its far... but the caverns and white sands come highly recommended for this part of the country...<br />
<br />
I am open to doing this on the weekend after the program as well...<br />
<br />
I can rent a car...<br />
<br />
Heres the route I'm thinking....<br />
<br />
http://maps.google.com/maps?saddr=St+John's+College,+Camino+De+Cruz+Blanca,+Santa+Fe,+NM&daddr=3225+National+Parks+Hwy,+Carlsbad,+NM+88220+(Carlsbad+Caverns+National+Park)+to:white+sands+to:NRAO+Very+Large+Array,+Old+Highway+60,+Magdalena,+NM&hl=en&ll=33.94336,-105.710449&spn=4.419525,9.832764&sll=33.897777,-105.67749&sspn=4.421888,9.832764&geocode=FfM6IAIdKumv-SGbTeoLvFZoEQ%3BFR9E6gEdbqLE-SG9sju99z3Ubg%3BFVUG9AEdKLap-SHDIL9nhxjRNg%3BFU7rBwId07qV-SG06Y_KW2f8zg&mra=ls&z=7<br />
<br />
let me know if you're interested...<br />
<br />
-Raghav<br />
<br />
==NRAO Very Large Array==<br />
<br />
National Radio Astronomy Observatory - Very Large Array<br />
<br />
Its a bit of a hike... about a 3 hour drive... but should be totally worth it. Perhaps we could do this and los alamos together on the same day. -Raghav<br />
<br />
Heres the description from the website(http://www.vla.nrao.edu/)-<br />
<br />
The Very Large Array, one of the world's premier astronomical radio observatories, consists of 27 radio antennas in a Y-shaped configuration on the Plains of San Agustin fifty miles west of Socorro, New Mexico. Each antenna is 25 meters (82 feet) in diameter. The data from the antennas is combined electronically to give the resolution of an antenna 36km (22 miles) across, with the sensitivity of a dish 130 meters (422 feet) in diameter.<br />
<br />
I'd love to go and would be willing to rent a car and drive. Unfortunately Los Alamos is in a different direction (NW) than VLA by quite a lot. I suggest looking above for other trips in planning for Los Alamos.<br />
<br />
I think this trip depends on when we go (when is Taos Earthships trip?) and whatever else people have planned for. Note that this trip is 3 hours and there's very little else besides VLA in that neighborhood of NM - this trip would be optimal if we can hook on this visit to any other attractions nearby (or in Albuquerque). Any suggestions? - Nini<br />
<br />
If you do go to the VLA, I'd recommend combining it with a visit to Kelly Mine, an old ghost town near Magdalena which is pretty neat to poke around. There is also a great microbrewery in Socorro (called Socorro Springs). Also, the town of Magdalena is in the process of trying to make itself a mini-artists' haven, so it could be fun to poke around the galleries there. Any more questions about the region and I'll see what I can do; my mom is from Socorro, and I can ask her for further suggestions. -Nora<br />
<br />
Mind signing up to indicate interest?<br><br />
1. <br />
2. Chris G - Have a car, but all depends on when we go...<br><br />
3. Cali - I would go, looks cool (can rent a car, don't have one)<br><br />
4. Raghav - Definitely wanna go... Can rent a car<br><br />
<br />
==Stargazing==<br />
<br />
I'd like to spend an evening star-gazing - maybe try to get far enough out of town to avoid major light pollution. The next new moon is July 1st, so we might look to do it towards the end of the program. <br />
<br />
UPDATE: Given folks' schedules, let's plan for stargazing the evening of Wednesday, June 29th. Those of us working on projects will want to have the evening of the 30th free. I will work on a location and further details with JP. I will also keep an eye on the weather, in case it looks like we might be clouded out. July 1 would be our fall back date. Check back later for more details. <br />
<br />
NB: Some people have expressed concern (perhaps hope) that I am organizing this trip as an excuse to make out in a remote location. Sadly, no; I really am nerd enough to want a quasi-scientific look at a clear night's sky. That is my full agenda, and I'm slightly embarrassed I'm not able to say otherwise. Of course, you are welcome to make out on this trip, but please be considerate of those of us who are not planning to do so. <br />
<br />
- Miles <br />
<br />
I'd be interested, might be able to get a telescope, and know a few locations. (JP) <br><br />
Cristina M.: Count me in and keep me informed. Great idea, Miles! <br><br />
<br />
Shweta S : I am also interested, but I have an early morning flight on 2nd July . So, I have to be at Peterson circle by 4 Am for the Pick up shuttle to airport. If possible, I am certainly in for Star Gazing, haven't done it for years.<br><br />
<br />
I am also very interested... but may fly out on the 1st in the evening... Could we perhaps do this on a weeknight? -Raghav<br />
<br />
count on me if it is before July 2... -----Yangjing<br />
<br />
I'm in as well! -David B<br />
<br />
==Early morning hiking==<br />
<br />
Would anybody would be interested in hiking the Atalaya Mountain Trail (or anywhere else) before dawn to watch the sunrise from the top?<br />
<br />
When?<br />
<br />
I am kind of tempted to do it on a weekday, but I may end up doing it alone. Unless a few people are interested, we could do it, let's say, this Saturday? The sun rises at about 5h45 these days.<br />
<br />
==Swimming?==<br />
Anyone want to go swimming with me (Ed)? There's a pool about 2 miles away that's open till 8:30, was thinking of walking down after class.<br />
<br />
Count me in for the drowning. When? - Nini<br />
<br />
I'd like to join -Yangjing<br />
I'm in. Where do we meet?--Elliot Aguilar<br />
<br />
==Museum Trip Friday June 24th==<br />
It's $8 for admission to the Georgia O'Keefe Museum. I want to go after lecture next week; sounds like a cool exhibit about the relationship between photography and contemporary art. Let's meet outside the student center at 4:30pm. The museum is open until 7pm. We can potentially grab dinner and drinks downtown afterwards.<br />
I'll drive down in my car from St. Johns; I've got space for 4 more.<br />
<br />
Note: let's join the Canyon Drive walk tomorrow instead. Free art > museums. :) -Nora<br><br />
Also, the art museum (modern/contemporary art) is free on Friday afternoons and close at 8. -Nini<br />
<br />
==Frisbee==<br />
Ok, look. I (Ed) like frisbee. By virtue of being into science, you people must at some level also like frisbee. So, let's play frisbee. There are lots of ways to do this:<br />
1) Throwing<br />
2) Throwing with our arms tucked in like T-Rex's<br />
3) Imbibing beverages and throwing<br />
4) Spinning the disc on our fingers (ooo fancy) and then throwing it<br />
5) Playing cower (ask me for details)<br />
<br />
Who has a disc? - Ed<br />
<br />
I would be up for throwing, and also for a game of Ultimate. Thursday evening (the 16th) is free on our schedule. We can buy a disc. -Miles<br />
<br />
I've got a disc. Just let me know whenever you want it. -AA<br />
<br />
I am soo in. Cristina M.<br />
<br />
I want to play cower! With beverages! -Kam<br />
<br />
==A Nice Dinner Out==<br />
<br />
The St. John's cafeteria is great, but Santa Fe is also the home of many unique, world-class restaurants. I would like to go out for a nice dinner some night and would love company. Any of the places below are kind of pricey and will require reservations, so please post preferences for date and location and I'll pull something together. Here are a few to get you started, with reviews and menus. - Cali (weakly prefers La Plazuela or MartÃn)<br />
<br />
Epazote is one of my favorites and I've always been treated very well by the chef. I think that gets my vote. -[[JP]]<br />
<br />
This sounds great - I'd be interested too. Fran.<br />

How does Thursday after lectures sound? (JP)? <br><br />
//Cristina M: Thursday after lectures is perfect! Though they have this on Friday: https://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=151999048206158. Thanks [[JP]]!<br />
Given the talks on Thursday, Friday (if there is time) may be better. Do we need to make a reservation (they recommend so on several places on their website) EH.<br />
<br />
I'd be happy for Friday night. There are some fairly large private tubs available. We should look into that. (JP)<br />

We're splitting this into two groups, unofficially dubbed the Hardcore Hikers and the Happy Campers.<br />
<br />
We might string a visit to the [http://www.vallescaldera.gov/ Valles Caldera] and [http://www.lanl.gov/museum/ Bradbury Science Museum/Los Alamos] in as well.<br />
<br />
From Stefani: I know the head archaeologist at Bandelier. I'll see if I can get him or his assistant to give us a brief talk.<br />

===Backpacking in the Pecos Wilderness===<br />
I've been planning a full-weekend backpacking trip with a local friend of mine. We'd probably camp Friday night at the trailhead (or his parents cabin) to get an early start, set up camp, then do a lighter hike to summit Las Truchas, the second highest peak in NM. We'd return on Sunday. At a minimum, you'd need a backpack and sleeping bag. We might be able to rustle up other gear. Cars shouldn't be an issue.<br />

==Present your own research==<br />
<br />
there are many others with very inspiring and ready to present research findings, so the idea would be to have a small session next '''Tuesday''' after lectures: let's say 4.30 - 6.00 (or longer, depending on how many of us want to / are ready to present) ...let's say 15 min each (so cut it down to the essentials! ...max 10 slides, if any!) and leave some room for discussion... so if you're ready and want some constructive feedback, just put here the title of your potential presentation, and we'll see if we get a critical mass that's interested:<br />

==Carlsbad Caverns, White Sands, VLA==<br />
<br />
Im thinking of taking a trip to the carlsbad caverns, white sands and the VLA this weekend... we can also do some stargazing and perhaps stop at Roswell if people are interested since its on the way....<br />
<br />
Its going to be an overnight trip... 2 days... just want to see if people might be interested... i realize its far... but the caverns and white sands come highly recommended for this part of the country...<br />
<br />
I am open to doing this on the weekend after the program as well...<br />
<br />
I can rent a car...<br />
<br />
Heres the route I'm thinking....<br />
<br />
http://maps.google.com/maps?saddr=St+John's+College,+Camino+De+Cruz+Blanca,+Santa+Fe,+NM&daddr=3225+National+Parks+Hwy,+Carlsbad,+NM+88220+(Carlsbad+Caverns+National+Park)+to:white+sands+to:NRAO+Very+Large+Array,+Old+Highway+60,+Magdalena,+NM&hl=en&ll=33.94336,-105.710449&spn=4.419525,9.832764&sll=33.897777,-105.67749&sspn=4.421888,9.832764&geocode=FfM6IAIdKumv-SGbTeoLvFZoEQ%3BFR9E6gEdbqLE-SG9sju99z3Ubg%3BFVUG9AEdKLap-SHDIL9nhxjRNg%3BFU7rBwId07qV-SG06Y_KW2f8zg&mra=ls&z=7<br />
<br />
let me know if you're interested...<br />
<br />
-Raghav<br />
<br />
==NRAO Very Large Array==<br />
<br />
National Radio Astronomy Observatory - Very Large Array<br />
<br />
Its a bit of a hike... about a 3 hour drive... but should be totally worth it. Perhaps we could do this and los alamos together on the same day. -Raghav<br />
<br />
Heres the description from the website(http://www.vla.nrao.edu/)-<br />
<br />
The Very Large Array, one of the world's premier astronomical radio observatories, consists of 27 radio antennas in a Y-shaped configuration on the Plains of San Agustin fifty miles west of Socorro, New Mexico. Each antenna is 25 meters (82 feet) in diameter. The data from the antennas is combined electronically to give the resolution of an antenna 36km (22 miles) across, with the sensitivity of a dish 130 meters (422 feet) in diameter.<br />
<br />
I'd love to go and would be willing to rent a car and drive. Unfortunately Los Alamos is in a different direction (NW) than VLA by quite a lot. I suggest looking above for other trips in planning for Los Alamos.<br />
<br />
I think this trip depends on when we go (when is Taos Earthships trip?) and whatever else people have planned for. Note that this trip is 3 hours and there's very little else besides VLA in that neighborhood of NM - this trip would be optimal if we can hook on this visit to any other attractions nearby (or in Albuquerque). Any suggestions? - Nini<br />
<br />
If you do go to the VLA, I'd recommend combining it with a visit to Kelly Mine, an old ghost town near Magdalena which is pretty neat to poke around. There is also a great microbrewery in Socorro (called Socorro Springs). Also, the town of Magdalena is in the process of trying to make itself a mini-artists' haven, so it could be fun to poke around the galleries there. Any more questions about the region and I'll see what I can do; my mom is from Socorro, and I can ask her for further suggestions. -Nora<br />
<br />
Mind signing up to indicate interest?<br><br />
1. <br />
2. Chris G - Have a car, but all depends on when we go...<br><br />
3. Cali - I would go, looks cool (can rent a car, don't have one)<br><br />
4. Raghav - Definitely wanna go... Can rent a car<br><br />
<br />
==Stargazing==<br />
<br />
I'd like to spend an evening star-gazing - maybe try to get far enough out of town to avoid major light pollution. The next new moon is July 1st, so we might look to do it towards the end of the program. <br />
<br />
UPDATE: Given folks' schedules, let's plan for stargazing the evening of Wednesday, June 29th. Those of us working on projects will want to have the evening of the 30th free. I will work on a location and further details with JP. I will also keep an eye on the weather, in case it looks like we might be clouded out. July 1 would be our fall back date. Check back later for more details. <br />
<br />
NB: Some people have expressed concern (perhaps hope) that I am organizing this trip as an excuse to make out in a remote location. Sadly, no; I really am nerd enough to want a quasi-scientific look at a clear night's sky. That is my full agenda, and I'm slightly embarrassed I'm not able to say otherwise. Of course, you are welcome to make out on this trip, but please be considerate of those of us who are not planning to do so. <br />
<br />
- Miles <br />
<br />
I'd be interested, might be able to get a telescope, and know a few locations. (JP) <br><br />
Cristina M.: Count me in and keep me informed. Great idea, Miles! <br><br />
<br />
Shweta S : I am also interested, but I have an early morning flight on 2nd July . So, I have to be at Peterson circle by 4 Am for the Pick up shuttle to airport. If possible, I am certainly in for Star Gazing, haven't done it for years.<br><br />
<br />
I am also very interested... but may fly out on the 1st in the evening... Could we perhaps do this on a weeknight? -Raghav<br />
<br />
count on me if it is before July 2... -----Yangjing<br />
<br />
I'm in as well! -David B<br />
<br />
==Early morning hiking==<br />
<br />
Would anybody would be interested in hiking the Atalaya Mountain Trail (or anywhere else) before dawn to watch the sunrise from the top?<br />
<br />
When?<br />
<br />
I am kind of tempted to do it on a weekday, but I may end up doing it alone. Unless a few people are interested, we could do it, let's say, this Saturday? The sun rises at about 5h45 these days.<br />
<br />
==Swimming?==<br />
Anyone want to go swimming with me (Ed)? There's a pool about 2 miles away that's open till 8:30, was thinking of walking down after class.<br />
<br />
Count me in for the drowning. When? - Nini<br />
<br />
I'd like to join -Yangjing<br />
I'm in. Where do we meet?--Elliot Aguilar<br />
<br />
==Museum Trip Friday June 24th==<br />
It's $8 for admission to the Georgia O'Keefe Museum. I want to go after lecture next week; sounds like a cool exhibit about the relationship between photography and contemporary art. Let's meet outside the student center at 4:30pm. The museum is open until 7pm. We can potentially grab dinner and drinks downtown afterwards.<br />
I'll drive down in my car from St. Johns; I've got space for 4 more.<br />
<br />
Note: let's join the Canyon Drive walk tomorrow instead. Free art > museums. :) -Nora<br><br />
Also, the art museum (modern/contemporary art) is free on Friday afternoons and close at 8. -Nini<br />
<br />
==Frisbee==<br />
Ok, look. I (Ed) like frisbee. By virtue of being into science, you people must at some level also like frisbee. So, let's play frisbee. There are lots of ways to do this:<br />
1) Throwing<br />
2) Throwing with our arms tucked in like T-Rex's<br />
3) Imbibing beverages and throwing<br />
4) Spinning the disc on our fingers (ooo fancy) and then throwing it<br />
5) Playing cower (ask me for details)<br />
<br />
Who has a disc? - Ed<br />
<br />
I would be up for throwing, and also for a game of Ultimate. Thursday evening (the 16th) is free on our schedule. We can buy a disc. -Miles<br />
<br />
I've got a disc. Just let me know whenever you want it. -AA<br />
<br />
I am soo in. Cristina M.<br />
<br />
I want to play cower! With beverages! -Kam<br />
<br />
==A Nice Dinner Out==<br />
<br />
The St. John's cafeteria is great, but Santa Fe is also the home of many unique, world-class restaurants. I would like to go out for a nice dinner some night and would love company. Any of the places below are kind of pricey and will require reservations, so please post preferences for date and location and I'll pull something together. Here are a few to get you started, with reviews and menus. - Cali (weakly prefers La Plazuela or MartÃn)<br />
<br />
Epazote is one of my favorites and I've always been treated very well by the chef. I think that gets my vote. -[[JP]]<br />

They say it's a "must-do" while here. Just put your name down here if interested. (Cristina M.)<br />
<br />
How does Thursday after lectures sound? (JP)? <br><br />
//Cristina M: Thursday after lectures is perfect! Though they have this on Friday: https://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=151999048206158. Thanks [[JP]]!<br />
Given the talks on Thursday, Friday (if there is time) may be better. Do we need to make a reservation (they recommend so on several places on their website) EH.<br />
<br />
I'd be happy for Friday night. There are some fairly large private tubs available. We should look into that. (JP)<br />
<br />
Website: http://www.tenthousandwaves.com/<br />
Price list: http://www.tenthousandwaves.com/RATES/price_list_summary.php<br />
<br />
Question: Are we able and willing to pitch in together towards one of these large private tubs (or two, if necessary)? Furthermore, I might be able to rent a car for this event; if anyone else is interested in going, please do indicate whether or not you could contribute towards said rental. Feel free to contact me for coordination as well. [[User:Ronnie|Ronnie]]<br />

===Backpacking in the Pecos Wilderness===<br />
I've been planning a full-weekend backpacking trip with a local friend of mine. We'd probably camp Friday night at the trailhead (or his parents cabin) to get an early start, set up camp, then do a lighter hike to summit Las Truchas, the second highest peak in NM. We'd return on Sunday. At a minimum, you'd need a backpack and sleeping bag. We might be able to rustle up other gear. Cars shouldn't be an issue.<br />

==Present your own research==<br />
<br />
there are many others with very inspiring and ready to present research findings, so the idea would be to have a small session next '''Tuesday''' after lectures: let's say 4.30 - 6.00 (or longer, depending on how many of us want to / are ready to present) ...let's say 15 min each (so cut it down to the essentials! ...max 10 slides, if any!) and leave some room for discussion... so if you're ready and want some constructive feedback, just put here the title of your potential presentation, and we'll see if we get a critical mass that's interested:<br />
<br />
- Aaron: Characterization of microbial promoter architectures for rational reengineering<br />
<br />
- Cristina: "Marriage squeeze modeling" .<br />
<br />
- Ed: "Shmoozing between enzyme kinetics and classical mechanics"<br />
<br />
- Shweta: Role of bio-geochemical cycles in economic activities - Current inventory for US economy.<br />
<br />
- Victor: current ideas in interdisciplinary education, as informed by case studies & interdisciplinarity philosophy<br />
<br />
- Alexis: stuff related to maximum entropy, e.g., inductive reasoning, impossibility of scientific controversy, etc.<br />
<br />
- ...<br />
<br />
<br />
Week after (last week):<br />
<br />
- Ryan: complexity<br />
<br />
- Miles: "TCP/IP: Why the Internet is the internet." History of the early international spread of the Internet, and how the politics of the Cold War are embedded in the current network. 21 slides, 20 minutes, but it goes fast.<br />

Possibly followed by pizza at Il Vicino. I've heard that Alfred Hubler endorses it.<br />

==Taos Earthships, Rio Grande Gorge, High Country==<br />
Taos is a small town about 60 miles North of Santa Fe. It's known for the Taos Indian Pueblo, an artist colony, skiing, and the Taos Earthships. Depending on who's interested, we could stop by some wineries on the way up/down. The drive up alone is worth it.<br />
<br />

Yep, we have a shuttle already scheduled and seats reserved. No need to worry about transportation. -JP<br />

==Carlsbad Caverns, White Sands, VLA==<br />
<br />
Im thinking of taking a trip to the carlsbad caverns, white sands and the VLA this weekend... we can also do some stargazing and perhaps stop at Roswell if people are interested since its on the way....<br />
<br />
Its going to be an overnight trip... 2 days... just want to see if people might be interested... i realize its far... but the caverns and white sands come highly recommended for this part of the country...<br />
<br />
I am open to doing this on the weekend after the program as well...<br />
<br />
I can rent a car...<br />
<br />
Heres the route I'm thinking....<br />
<br />
http://maps.google.com/maps?saddr=St+John's+College,+Camino+De+Cruz+Blanca,+Santa+Fe,+NM&daddr=3225+National+Parks+Hwy,+Carlsbad,+NM+88220+(Carlsbad+Caverns+National+Park)+to:white+sands+to:NRAO+Very+Large+Array,+Old+Highway+60,+Magdalena,+NM&hl=en&ll=33.94336,-105.710449&spn=4.419525,9.832764&sll=33.897777,-105.67749&sspn=4.421888,9.832764&geocode=FfM6IAIdKumv-SGbTeoLvFZoEQ%3BFR9E6gEdbqLE-SG9sju99z3Ubg%3BFVUG9AEdKLap-SHDIL9nhxjRNg%3BFU7rBwId07qV-SG06Y_KW2f8zg&mra=ls&z=7<br />
<br />
let me know if you're interested...<br />
<br />
-Raghav<br />
<br />
==NRAO Very Large Array==<br />
<br />
National Radio Astronomy Observatory - Very Large Array<br />
<br />
Its a bit of a hike... about a 3 hour drive... but should be totally worth it. Perhaps we could do this and los alamos together on the same day. -Raghav<br />
<br />
Heres the description from the website(http://www.vla.nrao.edu/)-<br />
<br />
The Very Large Array, one of the world's premier astronomical radio observatories, consists of 27 radio antennas in a Y-shaped configuration on the Plains of San Agustin fifty miles west of Socorro, New Mexico. Each antenna is 25 meters (82 feet) in diameter. The data from the antennas is combined electronically to give the resolution of an antenna 36km (22 miles) across, with the sensitivity of a dish 130 meters (422 feet) in diameter.<br />
<br />
I'd love to go and would be willing to rent a car and drive. Unfortunately Los Alamos is in a different direction (NW) than VLA by quite a lot. I suggest looking above for other trips in planning for Los Alamos.<br />
<br />
I think this trip depends on when we go (when is Taos Earthships trip?) and whatever else people have planned for. Note that this trip is 3 hours and there's very little else besides VLA in that neighborhood of NM - this trip would be optimal if we can hook on this visit to any other attractions nearby (or in Albuquerque). Any suggestions? - Nini<br />
<br />
If you do go to the VLA, I'd recommend combining it with a visit to Kelly Mine, an old ghost town near Magdalena which is pretty neat to poke around. There is also a great microbrewery in Socorro (called Socorro Springs). Also, the town of Magdalena is in the process of trying to make itself a mini-artists' haven, so it could be fun to poke around the galleries there. Any more questions about the region and I'll see what I can do; my mom is from Socorro, and I can ask her for further suggestions. -Nora<br />
<br />
Mind signing up to indicate interest?<br><br />
1. <br />
2. Chris G - Have a car, but all depends on when we go...<br><br />
3. Cali - I would go, looks cool (can rent a car, don't have one)<br><br />
4. Raghav - Definitely wanna go... Can rent a car<br><br />
<br />
==Stargazing==<br />
<br />
I'd like to spend an evening star-gazing - maybe try to get far enough out of town to avoid major light pollution. The next new moon is July 1st, so we might look to do it towards the end of the program. <br />
<br />
UPDATE: Given folks' schedules, let's plan for stargazing the evening of Wednesday, June 29th. Those of us working on projects will want to have the evening of the 30th free. I will work on a location and further details with JP. I will also keep an eye on the weather, in case it looks like we might be clouded out. July 1 would be our fall back date. Check back later for more details. <br />
<br />
NB: Some people have expressed concern (perhaps hope) that I am organizing this trip as an excuse to make out in a remote location. Sadly, no; I really am nerd enough to want a quasi-scientific look at a clear night's sky. That is my full agenda, and I'm slightly embarrassed I'm not able to say otherwise. Of course, you are welcome to make out on this trip, but please be considerate of those of us who are not planning to do so. <br />
<br />
- Miles <br />
<br />
I'd be interested, might be able to get a telescope, and know a few locations. (JP) <br><br />
Cristina M.: Count me in and keep me informed. Great idea, Miles! <br><br />
<br />
Shweta S : I am also interested, but I have an early morning flight on 2nd July . So, I have to be at Peterson circle by 4 Am for the Pick up shuttle to airport. If possible, I am certainly in for Star Gazing, haven't done it for years.<br><br />
<br />
I am also very interested... but may fly out on the 1st in the evening... Could we perhaps do this on a weeknight? -Raghav<br />
<br />
count on me if it is before July 2... -----Yangjing<br />
<br />
==Early morning hiking==<br />
<br />
Would anybody would be interested in hiking the Atalaya Mountain Trail (or anywhere else) before dawn to watch the sunrise from the top?<br />
<br />
When?<br />
<br />
I am kind of tempted to do it on a weekday, but I may end up doing it alone. Unless a few people are interested, we could do it, let's say, this Saturday? The sun rises at about 5h45 these days.<br />
<br />
==Swimming?==<br />
Anyone want to go swimming with me (Ed)? There's a pool about 2 miles away that's open till 8:30, was thinking of walking down after class.<br />
<br />
Count me in for the drowning. When? - Nini<br />
<br />
I'd like to join -Yangjing<br />
I'm in. Where do we meet?--Elliot Aguilar<br />
<br />
==Museum Trip Friday June 24th==<br />
It's $8 for admission to the Georgia O'Keefe Museum. I want to go after lecture next week; sounds like a cool exhibit about the relationship between photography and contemporary art. Let's meet outside the student center at 4:30pm. The museum is open until 7pm. We can potentially grab dinner and drinks downtown afterwards.<br />
I'll drive down in my car from St. Johns; I've got space for 4 more.<br />

==Frisbee==<br />
Ok, look. I (Ed) like frisbee. By virtue of being into science, you people must at some level also like frisbee. So, let's play frisbee. There are lots of ways to do this:<br />
1) Throwing<br />
2) Throwing with our arms tucked in like T-Rex's<br />
3) Imbibing beverages and throwing<br />
4) Spinning the disc on our fingers (ooo fancy) and then throwing it<br />
5) Playing cower (ask me for details)<br />
<br />
Who has a disc? - Ed<br />
<br />
I would be up for throwing, and also for a game of Ultimate. Thursday evening (the 16th) is free on our schedule. We can buy a disc. -Miles<br />
<br />
I've got a disc. Just let me know whenever you want it. -AA<br />
<br />
I am soo in. Cristina M.<br />
<br />
I want to play cower! With beverages! -Kam<br />
<br />
==A Nice Dinner Out==<br />
<br />
The St. John's cafeteria is great, but Santa Fe is also the home of many unique, world-class restaurants. I would like to go out for a nice dinner some night and would love company. Any of the places below are kind of pricey and will require reservations, so please post preferences for date and location and I'll pull something together. Here are a few to get you started, with reviews and menus. - Cali (weakly prefers La Plazuela or MartÃn)<br />
<br />
Epazote is one of my favorites and I've always been treated very well by the chef. I think that gets my vote. -[[JP]]<br />

===Backpacking in the Pecos Wilderness===<br />
I've been planning a full-weekend backpacking trip with a local friend of mine. We'd probably camp Friday night at the trailhead (or his parents cabin) to get an early start, set up camp, then do a lighter hike to summit Las Truchas, the second highest peak in NM. We'd return on Sunday. At a minimum, you'd need a backpack and sleeping bag. We might be able to rustle up other gear. Cars shouldn't be an issue.<br />

==Present your own research==<br />
<br />
there are many others with very inspiring and ready to present research findings, so the idea would be to have a small session this Thursday after lectures: let's say 4.30 - 5.30 (or longer, depending on how many of us want to / are ready to present) ...let's say 15 min each (so cut it down to the essentials! ...max 10 slides, if any!) and leave some room for discussion... so if you're ready and want some constructive feedback, just put here the title of your potential presentation, and we'll see if we get a critical mass that's interested:<br />
<br />
1) Martin: the world's technological capacity to process information<br />
<br />
2) Yangjing: Relations Between Graphs<br />
<br />
3) Nadja: Coupling human-engineered systems to improve water management on mine sites<br />
<br />
4) Tomas: Chemical Organization Theory<br />
<br />
5) Tomas: Concept's Theory<br />
<br />
6) Stefani: Understanding prehistory through agent-based modeling and network analysis<br />
<br />
7) Aaron: Characterization of microbial promoter architectures for rational reengineering<br />
<br />
...<br />
<br />
Victor wont present anything at this session, but he'll attend!<br />
<br />
Raghav will also attend..<br />
I'm interested in attending, too (Evelien)<br />
<br />
Antoine and I could hold a crash course in percolation theory (how you calculate giant components, spreading, and more) on generalized random networks. -Kam<br />

Veronica wants to attend too, without presenting anything...yet!<br />

==Taos Earthships, Rio Grande Gorge, High Country==<br />
Taos is a small town about 60 miles North of Santa Fe. It's known for the Taos Indian Pueblo, an artist colony, skiing, and the Taos Earthships. Depending on who's interested, we could stop by some wineries on the way up/down. The drive up alone is worth it.<br />

<br />
==NRAO Very Large Array==<br />
<br />
National Radio Astronomy Observatory - Very Large Array<br />
<br />
Its a bit of a hike... about a 3 hour drive... but should be totally worth it. Perhaps we could do this and los alamos together on the same day. -Raghav<br />
<br />
Heres the description from the website(http://www.vla.nrao.edu/)-<br />
<br />
The Very Large Array, one of the world's premier astronomical radio observatories, consists of 27 radio antennas in a Y-shaped configuration on the Plains of San Agustin fifty miles west of Socorro, New Mexico. Each antenna is 25 meters (82 feet) in diameter. The data from the antennas is combined electronically to give the resolution of an antenna 36km (22 miles) across, with the sensitivity of a dish 130 meters (422 feet) in diameter.<br />
<br />
I'd love to go and would be willing to rent a car and drive. Unfortunately Los Alamos is in a different direction (NW) than VLA by quite a lot. I suggest looking above for other trips in planning for Los Alamos.<br />
<br />
I think this trip depends on when we go (when is Taos Earthships trip?) and whatever else people have planned for. Note that this trip is 3 hours and there's very little else besides VLA in that neighborhood of NM - this trip would be optimal if we can hook on this visit to any other attractions nearby (or in Albuquerque). Any suggestions? - Nini<br />
<br />
Mind signing up to indicate interest?<br><br />
1. Nini - Can rent a car<br><br />
2. Chris G - Have a car, but all depends on when we go...<br><br />
3. Cali - I would go, looks cool (can rent a car, don't have one)<br><br />
4. Raghav - Definitely wanna go... Can rent a car<br><br />
<br />
==Backpacking in the Pecos Wilderness==<br />
I've been planning a full-weekend backpacking trip with a local friend of mine. We'd probably camp Friday night at the trailhead (or his parents cabin) to get an early start, set up camp, then do a lighter hike to summit Las Truchas, the second highest peak in NM.

==Stargazing==<br />
<br />
I'd like to spend an evening star-gazing - maybe try to get far enough out of town to avoid major light pollution. The next new moon is July 1st, so we might look to do it towards the end of the program. - Miles <br />
<br />
I'd be interested, might be able to get a telescope, and know a few locations. (JP) <br><br />
Cristina M.: Count me in and keep me informed. Great idea, Miles! <br><br />
<br />
Shweta S : I am also interested, but I have an early morning flight on 2nd July . So, I have to be at Peterson circle by 4 Am for the Pick up shuttle to airport. If possible, I am certainly in for Star Gazing, haven't done it for years.<br><br />
<br />
I am also very interested... but may fly out on the 1st in the evening... Could we perhaps do this on a weeknight? -Raghav<br />
<br />
==Early morning hiking==<br />
<br />
Would anybody would be interested in hiking the Atalaya Mountain Trail (or anywhere else) before dawn to watch the sunrise from the top?<br />
<br />
When?<br />
<br />
I am kind of tempted to do it on a weekday, but I may end up doing it alone. Unless a few people are interested, we could do it, let's say, this Saturday? The sun rises at about 5h45 these days.<br />
<br />
==Swimming?==<br />
Anyone want to go swimming with me (Ed)? There's a pool about 2 miles away that's open till 8:30, was thinking of walking down after class.<br />
<br />
Count me in for the drowning. When? - Nini<br />

==After summerschool ==<br />
I (Evelien van der Hurk) have got a couple of days after the summer school, and am (kind of) planning to drive around to Mesa Verde, Monument Valley, and if there is time: sky highway/Silverton. Is supposed to be pretty amazing. I will arrange to be 'back' on wednesday 6 july at 14:00h at Albuquerque airport, or before that - leaving at least 4 days for traveling, when leaving on Saturday. So, if anyone is interested to join me to drive around (I will need to rent a car), let me know (ehurk at rsm dot nl). Some links to pictures are below.<br />

==Frisbee==<br />
Ok, look. I (Ed) like frisbee. By virtue of being into science, you people must at some level also like frisbee. So, let's play frisbee. There are lots of ways to do this:<br />
1) Throwing<br />
2) Throwing with our arms tucked in like T-Rex's<br />
3) Imbibing beverages and throwing<br />
4) Spinning the disc on our fingers (ooo fancy) and then throwing it<br />
5) Playing cower (ask me for details)<br />
<br />
Who has a disc? - Ed<br />
<br />
I would be up for throwing, and also for a game of Ultimate. Thursday evening (the 16th) is free on our schedule. We can buy a disc. -Miles<br />

==Museum Trip Friday June 17th==<br />
It's $8 for admission to the Georgia O'Keefe Museum. I want to go after lecture tomorrow; sounds like a cool exhibit about the relationship between photography and contemporary art.

==Present your own research==<br />
<br />
there are many others with very inspiring and ready to present research findings, so the idea would be to have a small session this Thursday after lectures: let's say 4.30 - 5.30 (or longer, depending on how many of us want to / are ready to present) ...let's say 15 min each (so cut it down to the essentials! ...max 10 slides, if any!) and leave some room for discussion... so if you're ready and want some constructive feedback, just put here the title of your potential presentation, and we'll see if we get a critical mass that's interested:<br />

==Taos Earthships, Rio Grande Gorge, High Country==<br />
Taos is a small town about 60 miles North of Santa Fe. It's known for the Taos Indian Pueblo, an artist colony, skiing, and the Taos Earthships. Depending on who's interested, we could stop by some wineries on the way up/down. The drive up alone is worth it.<br />

Presented by Ian Couzin (Assistant Professor, Ecology and Evolutionary Biology, Princeton University)<br><br><br />

Anyone interested? - Nini<br />
<br />
Yep, we have a shuttle already scheduled and seats reserved. No need to worry about transportation. -JP<br />
<br />
==Los Alamos==<br />
<br />
Los Alamos National Labs <br />
<br />
From website: "Los Alamos National Laboratory is a premier national security research institution, delivering scientific and engineering solutions for the nation's most crucial and complex problems. Our primary responsibility is ensuring the safety, security, and reliability of the nation's nuclear deterrent. The Los Alamos of today emphasizes worker safety, effective operational safeguards & security, and environmental stewardship, while outstanding science remains the foundation of the Laboratory. In addition to supporting the Lab's core national security mission, our work advances bioscience, chemistry, computer science, earth and environmental sciences, materials science, and physics disciplines." <br />
<br />
Check it out at lanl.gov <br />
<br />
I'd like to go, and I can rent a car if there's an interested group. -Clio<br />
<br />
I'd like to go too! -Raghav<br />
<br />
count me in! -ryan j<br />
<br />
==NRAO Very Large Array==<br />
<br />
National Radio Astronomy Observatory - Very Large Array<br />
<br />
Its a bit of a hike... about a 3 hour drive... but should be totally worth it. Perhaps we could do this and los alamos together on the same day. -Raghav<br />
<br />
Heres the description from the website(http://www.vla.nrao.edu/)-<br />
<br />
The Very Large Array, one of the world's premier astronomical radio observatories, consists of 27 radio antennas in a Y-shaped configuration on the Plains of San Agustin fifty miles west of Socorro, New Mexico. Each antenna is 25 meters (82 feet) in diameter. The data from the antennas is combined electronically to give the resolution of an antenna 36km (22 miles) across, with the sensitivity of a dish 130 meters (422 feet) in diameter.<br />
<br />
I'd love to go and would be willing to rent a car and drive. Unfortunately Los Alamos is in a different direction (NW) than VLA by quite a lot. I suggest looking above for other trips in planning for Los Alamos.<br />
<br />
Mind signing up to indicate interest?<br><br />
1. Nini - Can rent a car<br><br />
2. Chris G - Have a car, but all depends on when we go...<br><br />
3. Cali - I would go, looks cool (can rent a car, don't have one)<br><br />
4.<br><br />
<br />
==Backpacking in the Pecos Wilderness==<br />
I've been planning a full-weekend backpacking trip with a local friend of mine. We'd probably camp Friday night at the trailhead (or his parents cabin) to get an early start, set up camp, then do a lighter hike to summit Las Truchas, the second highest peak in NM. We'd return on Sunday. At a minimum, you'd need a backpack and sleeping bag. We might be able to rustle up other gear. Cars shouldn't be an issue.<br />
<br />
Interest:<br><br />
1. Chris G. <br><br />
2. Kameron (interested)<br><br />
3. Antoine (interested as well, the sleeping bag is an issue though)<br><br />
4. <br><br />
<br />
==Stargazing==<br />
<br />
I'd like to spend an evening star-gazing - maybe try to get far enough out of town to avoid major light pollution. The next new moon is July 1st, so we might look to do it towards the end of the program. - Miles <br />
<br />
I'd be interested, might be able to get a telescope, and know a few locations. (JP) <br><br />
Cristina M.: Count me in and keep me informed. Great idea, Miles! <br><br />
<br />
Shweta S : I am also interested, but I have an early morning flight on 2nd July . So, I have to be at Peterson circle by 4 Am for the Pick up shuttle to airport. If possible, I am certainly in for Star Gazing, haven't done it for years.<br><br />
<br />
==Early morning hiking==<br />
<br />
Would anybody would be interested in hiking the Atalaya Mountain Trail (or anywhere else) before dawn to watch the sunrise from the top?<br />
<br />
When?<br />
<br />
I am kind of tempted to do it on a weekday, but I may end up doing it alone. Unless a few people are interested, we could do it, let's say, this Saturday? The sun rises at about 5h45 these days.<br />
<br />
==Swimming?==<br />
Anyone want to go swimming with me (Ed)? There's a pool about 2 miles away that's open till 8:30, was thinking of walking down after class.<br />
<br />
Count me in for the drowning. When? - Nini<br />
<br />
==Ten Thousand Waves==<br />
<br />
They say it's a "must-do" while here. Just put your name down here if interested. (Cristina M.)<br />
<br />
How does Thursday after lectures sound? (JP)? <br><br />
//Cristina M: Thursday after lectures is perfect! Though they have this on Friday: https://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=151999048206158. Thanks [[JP]]!<br />

==After summerschool ==<br />
I (Evelien van der Hurk) have got a couple of days after the summer school, and am (kind of) planning to drive around to Mesa Verde, Monument Valley, and if there is time: sky highway/Silverton. Is supposed to be pretty amazing. I will arrange to be 'back' on wednesday 6 july at 14:00h at Albuquerque airport, or before that - leaving at least 4 days for traveling, when leaving on Saturday. So, if anyone is interested to join me to drive around (I will need to rent a car), let me know (ehurk at rsm dot nl). Some links to pictures are below.<br />

==Frisbee==<br />
Ok, look. I (Ed) like frisbee. By virtue of being into science, you people must at some level also like frisbee. So, let's play frisbee. There are lots of ways to do this:<br />
1) Throwing<br />
2) Throwing with our arms tucked in like T-Rex's<br />
3) Imbibing beverages and throwing<br />
4) Spinning the disc on our fingers (ooo fancy) and then throwing it<br />
5) Playing cower (ask me for details)<br />
<br />
Who has a disc? - Ed<br />
<br />
I would be up for throwing, and also for a game of Ultimate. Thursday evening (the 16th) is free on our schedule. We can buy a disc. -Miles<br />
<br />
I've got a disc. Just let me know whenever you want it. -AA<br />

==Bandelier Field Trip==<br />
[[JP]] would like to set up a trip to [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bandelier_National_Monument Bandelier National Monument] on Sat. June 18. We might string a visit to the [http://www.vallescaldera.gov/ Valles Caldera] and [http://www.lanl.gov/museum/ Bradbury Science Museum/Los Alamos] in as well.<br />
<br />
From Stefani: I know the head archaeologist at Bandelier. I'll see if I can get him or his assistant to give us a brief talk.<br />

==Present your own research==<br />
<br />
there are many others with very inspiring and ready to present research findings, so the idea would be to have a small session this Thursday after lectures: let's say 4.30 - 5.30 (or longer, depending on how many of us want to / are ready to present) ...let's say 15 min each (so cut it down to the essentials! ...max 10 slides, if any!) and leave some room for discussion... so if you're ready and want some constructive feedback, just put here the title of your potential presentation, and we'll see if we get a critical mass that's interested:<br />
<br />
1) Martin: the world's technological capacity to process information<br />
<br />
2) Yangjing: Relations Between Graphs<br />
<br />
3) Nadja: Coupling human-engineered systems to improve water management on mine sites<br />

==Yo La Tengo in Santa Fe, 17 June==<br />
<br />
For anyone interested, they're playing in town. <br />
<br />
==Taos Earthships, Rio Grande Gorge, High Country==<br />
Taos is a small town about 60 miles North of Santa Fe. It's known for the Taos Indian Pueblo, an artist colony, skiing, and the Taos Earthships. Depending on who's interested, we could stop by some wineries on the way up/down. The drive up alone is worth it.<br />

==Community Lecture, 1930, 29 June==<br />
<b>From Democratic Consensus to Cannibalistic Hordes: The Principles of Collective Animal Behavior</b>[http://santafe.edu/gevent/detail/public/408/]<br><br />
Presented by Ian Couzin (Assistant Professor, Ecology and Evolutionary Biology, Princeton University)<br><br><br />
<br />
Anyone interested? - Nini<br />
<br />
Yep, we have a shuttle already scheduled and seats reserved. No need to worry about transportation. -JP<br />
<br />
==Los Alamos==<br />
<br />
Los Alamos National Labs <br />
<br />
From website: "Los Alamos National Laboratory is a premier national security research institution, delivering scientific and engineering solutions for the nation's most crucial and complex problems. Our primary responsibility is ensuring the safety, security, and reliability of the nation's nuclear deterrent. The Los Alamos of today emphasizes worker safety, effective operational safeguards & security, and environmental stewardship, while outstanding science remains the foundation of the Laboratory. In addition to supporting the Lab's core national security mission, our work advances bioscience, chemistry, computer science, earth and environmental sciences, materials science, and physics disciplines." <br />
<br />
Check it out at lanl.gov <br />
<br />
I'd like to go, and I can rent a car if there's an interested group. -Clio<br />
<br />
I'd like to go too! -Raghav<br />
<br />
count me in! -ryan j<br />
<br />
==NRAO Very Large Array==<br />
<br />
National Radio Astronomy Observatory - Very Large Array<br />
<br />
Its a bit of a hike... about a 3 hour drive... but should be totally worth it. Perhaps we could do this and los alamos together on the same day. -Raghav<br />
<br />
Heres the description from the website(http://www.vla.nrao.edu/)-<br />
<br />
The Very Large Array, one of the world's premier astronomical radio observatories, consists of 27 radio antennas in a Y-shaped configuration on the Plains of San Agustin fifty miles west of Socorro, New Mexico. Each antenna is 25 meters (82 feet) in diameter. The data from the antennas is combined electronically to give the resolution of an antenna 36km (22 miles) across, with the sensitivity of a dish 130 meters (422 feet) in diameter.<br />
<br />
I'd love to go and would be willing to rent a car and drive. Unfortunately Los Alamos is in a different direction (NW) than VLA by quite a lot. I suggest looking above for other trips in planning for Los Alamos.<br />
<br />
Mind signing up to indicate interest?<br><br />
1. Nini - Can rent a car<br><br />
2. Chris G - Have a car, but all depends on when we go...<br><br />
3. Cali - I would go, looks cool (can rent a car, don't have one)<br><br />
4.<br><br />
<br />
==Backpacking in the Pecos Wilderness==<br />
I've been planning a full-weekend backpacking trip with a local friend of mine. We'd probably camp Friday night at the trailhead (or his parents cabin) to get an early start, set up camp, then do a lighter hike to summit Las Truchas, the second highest peak in NM. We'd return on Sunday. At a minimum, you'd need a backpack and sleeping bag. We might be able to rustle up other gear. Cars shouldn't be an issue.<br />
<br />
Interest:<br><br />
1. Chris G. <br><br />
2. Kameron (interested)<br><br />
3. Antoine (interested as well, the sleeping bag is an issue though)<br><br />
4. <br><br />
<br />
==Stargazing==<br />
<br />
I'd like to spend an evening star-gazing - maybe try to get far enough out of town to avoid major light pollution. The next new moon is July 1st, so we might look to do it towards the end of the program. - Miles <br />
<br />
I'd be interested, might be able to get a telescope, and know a few locations. (JP) <br><br />
Cristina M.: Count me in and keep me informed. Great idea, Miles! <br><br />
<br />
Shweta S : I am also interested, but I have an early morning flight on 2nd July . So, I have to be at Peterson circle by 4 Am for the Pick up shuttle to airport. If possible, I am certainly in for Star Gazing, haven't done it for years.<br><br />
<br />
==Early morning hiking==<br />
<br />
Would anybody would be interested in hiking the Atalaya Mountain Trail (or anywhere else) before dawn to watch the sunrise from the top?<br />
<br />
When?<br />
<br />
I am kind of tempted to do it on a weekday, but I may end up doing it alone. Unless a few people are interested, we could do it, let's say, this Saturday? The sun rises at about 5h45 these days.<br />
<br />
==Swimming?==<br />
Anyone want to go swimming with me (Ed)? There's a pool about 2 miles away that's open till 8:30, was thinking of walking down after class.<br />
<br />
Count me in for the drowning. When? - Nini<br />
<br />
==Ten Thousand Waves==<br />
<br />
They say it's a "must-do" while here. Just put your name down here if interested. (Cristina M.)<br />
<br />
How does Thursday after lectures sound? (JP)? <br><br />
//Cristina M: Thursday after lectures is perfect! Though they have this on Friday: https://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=151999048206158. Thanks [[JP]]!<br />
Given the talks on Thursday, Friday (if there is time) may be better. Do we need to make a reservation (they recommend so on several places on their website) EH.<br />

==After summerschool ==<br />
I (Evelien van der Hurk) have got a couple of days after the summer school, and am (kind of) planning to drive around to Mesa Verde, Monument Valley, and if there is time: sky highway/Silverton. Is supposed to be pretty amazing. I will arrange to be 'back' on wednesday 6 july at 14:00h at Albuquerque airport, or before that - leaving at least 4 days for traveling, when leaving on Saturday. So, if anyone is interested to join me to drive around (I will need to rent a car), let me know (ehurk at rsm dot nl). Some links to pictures are below.<br />

==Frisbee==<br />
Ok, look. I (Ed) like frisbee. By virtue of being into science, you people must at some level also like frisbee. So, let's play frisbee. There are lots of ways to do this:<br />
1) Throwing<br />
2) Throwing with our arms tucked in like T-Rex's<br />
3) Imbibing beverages and throwing<br />
4) Spinning the disc on our fingers (ooo fancy) and then throwing it<br />
5) Playing cower (ask me for details)<br />
<br />
Who has a disc? - Ed<br />
<br />
I would be up for throwing, and also for a game of Ultimate. Thursday evening (the 16th) is free on our schedule. We can buy a disc. -Miles<br />

<br />
Hi there fellow SFI summer school participants. My name is Josh Auerbach. I am featured in the above picture with my dog Shaka.<br />
<br />
I am in my 4th year of the Interdisciplinary PhD in Computer Science program at the University of Vermont where I am also active in the complex systems group. My main area of research is Evolutionary Robotics: using evolutionary algorithms to evolve complete robot brains and bodies. So my interests lie in evolution (biological and artificial), neural networks (biological and artificial), and a variety of other areas including dynamical systems and cognition. <br />
[http://www.cs.uvm.edu/~jauerbac For more info about my research and to see my publications check out my website here]<br />
<br />
I have experience programming in many languages and am well versed in many modern genetic algorithms (and other forms of evolutionary computation/stochastic optimization) all of which may be useful for a variety of projects.<br />
<br />
Besides my academic interests I love being outdoors. I am an avid fan of winter sports (mostly snowboarding, but sometimes skiing) not that I will get to do much of that this time of year. I also like to hike, mountain bike and to play volleyball and ultimate.<br />
<br />
[[File:josh_snowboard.jpg]]<br />
<br />
My other main interest is live music. I love going to see good musicians perform, and I am a fan of a wide range of styles. I hope to check out the local music scene while I am in Santa Fe.<br />
<br />
<br />
I look forward to getting to know everyone and learning a lot!</div>Joshhttps://wiki.santafe.edu/index.php?title=Joshua_Auerbach&diff=39646Joshua Auerbach2011-06-01T20:30:45Z<p>Josh: </p>
