DNA on the Map
Reply
In this podcast segment, one kind of mapping — DNA analysis — meets conventional cartography and results in a pretty fascinating narrative. Also worth listening to to see (…hear) how the folks at Radiolab take a pretty static subject (historians looking at maps, researchers looking at DNA) and bring it to life in a vivid form of storytelling.

Maps of scholarly citations
This is fascinating, red the whole article (linked below.) Thank you Sharron Macklin at OIT for sharing this with me.
Citation by Citation, New Maps Chart Hot Research and Scholarship’s Hidden Terrain
By Jennifer HowardImagine a Google Maps of scholarship, a set of tools sophisticated enough to help researchers locate hot research, spot hidden connections to other fields, and even identify new disciplines as they emerge in the sprawling terrain of scholarly communication. Creating new ways to identify and analyze patterns in millions of journal citations, a team led by two biologists, Carl T. Bergstrom and Jevin D. West, and a physicist, Martin Rosvall, has set out to build just such a guidance system.
This network of disciplines shows how strongly different areas in the large JSTOR collection of scholarly journals are connected. Thicker lines represent more back-and-forth journal citations; thinner lines indicate less communication.

Subscribing to Google calendars
We have two Google calendars related to THEA 228, one for classes and any other meetings or events happening that relate to the academic side of things; and a second calendar related to the production itself, which handles rehearsals, production meetings, due dates, tech and performances. We want you to have access to both of these calendars on your iPad in the native iCal app, and this post will walk you through the steps needed to make that happen.
Cartographers for Social Equality?
The clip from the most educational West Wing ever, in my opinion, which David also mentioned in class – ties in well to the article I posted too.

ANNOUNCEMENT: site tweaks + poll
Hi everyone,
I tweaked the site a bit, made the menu (in the black bar between the header image and the posts) more useful — it now has quick links to all categories! I pulled out the ones related to class operations (so, announcements, homework, production, how-to posts) and then put all of the more “map-themed” ones under a catch-all header of “categories.” All are nested menus, so more options pop up when you mouseover.
