== Symbol Network by Topic ==
Hi!

A network in symbols, that was pretty much the idea. I guess the concept picture (based on actual data) needs not much more explaining.

I used the data from the survey to represent us by keyword (I hope 34 entries will represnet us sufficiently). It is not perfect yet: I would like to merge economy + business keywords, and I think something complexity (SFI logo?) should be in the middle. Also, the size of the symbols is correlated to the degree of the node (but I just approximated it). The graph is from Gephi, some other stuff could be done with it.

[[File:SymbolNetwork.png]]
[[Media:Slide-Version.ppt]]

If this would turn out to be our final design, I would very much love someone help with finalizing it, I guess we should be finished within an hour. (EH)

-- That's a pretty neat idea. [whoever got this idea] for president! -AA

--I understand that you're trying to use cultures for part of this t-shirt, but that lowest image is a tad... um... could we change it if this is the t-shirt?

-- Design concept is awesome. I propose non-white background. Perhaps New Mexico yellow? -DBB

== What does theory mean to you? #tweet ==

CSSS-ers,

Recently, we had a great conversation that illustrated how theory means very different things across disciplines. We want to capture these different meanings of theory in an artistic t-shirt design.

We need your help! We have created a very brief Survey Monkey survey. Please take a just a minute to describe what theory means to you, limiting your description to a tweet-length 140 characters.

[http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/TFMXGKJ http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/TFMXGKJ]

Since we want to make sure we don't miss anyone, we will hunt down and survey in person those who don't use the online survey. :)

Thanks so much for your help!

Zoe, Cali, Michael, and Lydia

And here are the results. First, version one of the front:

[[File:ts1_f.png]]

Version two of the front:

[[File:ts2_f.png]]

A pretty but less meaningful version of the front:

[[File:Ts3_f.png]]

The back:

[[File:ts1_b.png]]

The words are yours (those that contributed). The colors represent the fields that you work in. The ordering is random.

== Another (probably obvious) idea ==

I thought it would be neat to take the social network some of us are working on of the group and make it into a pretty graphic, perhaps allowing each person to pick an icon or color to represent themselves. This could go on the T-Shirt, perhaps around or within another design or border.

== I Lorenz Chaos ==

Although I would never actually wear this.

[[File:ILorenzChaos.png]]

== Word maps & networks ==
We came up with a couple ideas. A word map based on Clio's keyword survey and a network based on geography (the countries where students are from and have studied or worked). Here is one version of a word map and a demo network with 10 people we sampled. The network has the people as unnamed nodes and places as named. The keywords show the breadth of study and the geography shows the international flavor of CSSS while highlighting that we are all connected through SFI. Geography could also be entered as a word map as SFI would still be by far the largest word. We could also combine keywords and geography in a word map. Lastly, one of these ideas could be used on the back of a shirt in concert with another design on the front.... And lastly lastly, the specific formats can definitely be modified. -Anna, Eugenia, and Michael J

I like the "flowers" a lot, but let's change the wordle. How about taking the words from the "what is theory" question. -Kam

== Sandpile ==

There are some good t-shirt ideas on here already, but just thought I would throw this one out there...

Our interest in the work of SFI is a common thread among all of the participants, so I created a sandpile of SFI logos (one logo per participant with a total of 55 logos). So, this design with certainly win the award for most SFI logos used!

I just did this in the last ten minutes using paint... and i realize my lack of artistic ability... but i just wanted to get the idea out there...

== What does theory mean to you? #tweet ==

CSSS-ers,

Recently, we had a great conversation that illustrated how theory means very different things across disciplines. We want to capture these different meanings of theory in an artistic t-shirt design.

We need your help! We have created a very brief Survey Monkey survey. Please take a just a minute to describe what theory means to you, limiting your description to a tweet-length 140 characters.

[http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/TFMXGKJ http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/TFMXGKJ]

Since we want to make sure we don't miss anyone, we will hunt down and survey in person those who don't use the online survey. :)

Thanks so much for your help!

The words are yours (those that contributed). The colors represent the fields that you work in. The ordering is random.

== Another (probably obvious) idea ==

I thought it would be neat to take the social network some of us are working on of the group and make it into a pretty graphic, perhaps allowing each person to pick an icon or color to represent themselves. This could go on the T-Shirt, perhaps around or within another design or border.

== Word maps & networks ==
We came up with a couple ideas. A word map based on Clio's keyword survey and a network based on geography (the countries where students are from and have studied or worked). Here is one version of a word map and a demo network with 10 people we sampled. The network has the people as unnamed nodes and places as named. The keywords show the breadth of study and the geography shows the international flavor of CSSS while highlighting that we are all connected through SFI. Geography could also be entered as a word map as SFI would still be by far the largest word. We could also combine keywords and geography in a word map. Lastly, one of these ideas could be used on the back of a shirt in concert with another design on the front.... And lastly lastly, the specific formats can definitely be modified. -Anna, Eugenia, and Michael J

== Sandpile ==

There are some good t-shirt ideas on here already, but just thought I would throw this one out there...

Our interest in the work of SFI is a common thread among all of the participants, so I created a sandpile of SFI logos (one logo per participant with a total of 55 logos). So, this design with certainly win the award for most SFI logos used!

== Symbol Network by Topic ==
Hi!

A network in symbols, that was pretty much the idea. I guess the concept picture (based on actual data) needs not much more explaining.

I used the data from the survey to represent us by keyword (I hope 34 entries will represnet us sufficiently). It is not perfect yet: I would like to merge economy + business keywords, and I think something complexity (SFI logo?) should be in the middle. Also, the size of the symbols is correlated to the degree of the node (but I just approximated it). The graph is from Gephi, some other stuff could be done with it.

==Soccer, Monday 13 June at 7 PM?==
(I saw this from Victor on the CSSS FB wall)

"Who's down for soccer this Monday evening, at 7?
Rsvp w/a comment
If you have a ball, bring it--and let us know in your rsvp
I think it makes sense if those of us who want to play meet up at the drop-off circle and then walk down to the athletic field cheers V"

==Yo La Tengo in Santa Fe, 17 June==

For anyone interested, they're playing in town.

==Taos Earthships, Rio Grande Gorge, High Country==
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.

Please add your car and seats if you have one

From Democratic Consensus to Cannibalistic Hordes: The Principles of Collective Animal Behavior[http://santafe.edu/gevent/detail/public/408/] 
Presented by Iain Couzin (Assistant Professor, Ecology and Evolutionary Biology, Princeton University) 

Anyone interested? - Nini

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

==Los Alamos==

Los Alamos National Labs

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."

Check it out at lanl.gov

I'd like to go, and I can rent a car if there's an interested group. -Clio

I'd like to go too! -Raghav

count me in! -ryan j

==NRAO Very Large Array==

National Radio Astronomy Observatory - Very Large Array

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

Heres the description from the website(http://www.vla.nrao.edu/)-

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.

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.

Mind signing up to indicate interest? 
1. Nini - Can rent a car 
2. Chris G - Have a car, but all depends on when we go...

==Backpacking in the Pecos Wilderness==
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.

Interest:
1. Chris G. 
2. 
3. 

==Swimming?==
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.

==Other Options==

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
