Ruby Taki and Cici James both competed in the cosplay contest at the recent New York Comic Con. One is a Japanese salesperson working in Manhattan; the other owns a sci-fi and fantasy bookstore in DUMBO. Although they come from different cultural backgrounds, the two shared a somewhat unpopular goal at Comic Con -- not being the hottest chick in the Javits Center.n"I wanted to compete other contestants with my skills -- not just being sexy, showing skins," says Taki, who was competing with her hand-crafted Metal Gear REX robot costume."That's why I hide myself inside of the costume, because I don't want people to judge me by my gender."nn"I don't want to be the hot chick at Comic Con. I'm mostly excited by how the costumes facilitate conversation with other people in costumes," says James, who dressed up in a bright yellow flight suit as Yuki Mori, a character from an anime series called Space Battleship Yamato.nnWe followed these two cosplay enthusiasts to Comic Con and asked them what motivated them, why they chose their costumes, and what Comic Con means to them.nnHere are two bonus videos that go in-depth with James and Taki:nhttps://vimeo.com/108426580nhttps://vimeo.com/108185872   Less

Dance your PhD 2014 - "Reduced-fat mayonnaise: Can´t maintain it´s stability"

Video for the DANCE YOUR PhD 2014 contest.nnWritten, directed and edited by Saioa Alvarez (Food scientist and PhD candidate in food science and technology) . The experimental work presented in this thesis was performed at AZTI (Spain) and the thesis will be presented at the University of the Basque Country (Spain).nnSee the video for the rest of the credits.nnMORE INFORMATION:nnDue to the increasing prevalence of diseases related to high-calorie intake, such as overweight and obesity, there is a growing demand by food consumers of low-caloric products. The higher caloric value of fat compared to carbohydrates or proteins has made the food industry to especially focus on the development of reduced-fat products.nnHowever, fat plays and important role in food properties as texture and flavour. In highly concentrated emulsions, for instance mayonnaise, a reduction in oil volume provokes a large decrease in the emulsion´s viscosity and the appearance of destabilisation phenomena. Creaming is one of the main instability phenomena. It consists in the oil droplets upward migration due to the differences in density between oil and water. When the number of oil droplets is small and enough interactions between them are not produced, or when the viscosity of the droplets surrounding phase (normally mostly water in oil-in-water emulsions) is very low, droplets migrate upward and a separated creamy phase appears.nnIn this video we tried to explain how we solved this problem during this thesis through the story of a mayonnaise addict that does not know how to obtain reduced-fat mayonnaises with appropiate texture. Food scientists explain him how we did it and the fundaments behind the followed strategies. On one hand we added a low-caloric carbohydrate, which interacts with water increasing the aqueous phase viscosity. We also studied the impact of the application of an emerging food processing technology: high pressure homogenisation. The very high forces applied by this technology produce the oil droplets sizes reduction provoking an increase in their surface area and consequently also in the interactions among droplets (more packed droplets for the same oil volume fraction). Both effects improve the emulsions viscoelastic properties and prevent the oil droplets creaming. Hence, it is possible to obtain reduced-fat mayonnaises with similar texture properties as the full-fat ones by combining both strategies.nnWe also wanted to explain in this video the role of egg yolk as emulsifier. Egg yolk´s emulsifying molecules locate at the interface between oil and water (aqueous phase) reducing the tension among them. This makes possible the emulsification process by reducing the immiscibility between phases. Milk proteins can also be used as emulsifiers but as shown in this video they are not efficient for fat reduction by themselves.nnIt´s been a great (and very funny) experience mixing dance and science. We also learnt a lot about video production and editing for future "scientific/artistic" videos.nnTHANKS FOR WATCHING!   Less

Plant-soil feedbacks after severe tornado damage: Dance Your PhD 2014

Dance Your PhD 2014nUma NagendranDepartment of Plant BiologynUniversity of GeorgiannMany of the patterns we see in forests around the world are caused by the relationships that plants have with organisms in the soil. Some very diverse forests can only support as many different tree species as they do because soil-borne diseases prevent any one species from taking over. But what happens when a tornado comes along? Do the plants and soil organisms maintain this diversity-promoting relationship? nnMy PhD research focuses on how several different species of tree seedlings in the southern Appalachian mountains interact with soil organisms—and how tornadoes might mix things up. I study many different species. As an example, we can look at white pine (Pinus strobus), and the many pathogens that attack the roots of its seedlings.nnThe dance begins in an undisturbed forest. Because trees live for so long in one place, a mature pine tree accumulates a unique group of fungi around its roots—including pathogens that cause diseases in tree seedlings (in this case, Pythium and Rhizoctonia). White pine seedlings that are very close to a mature tree are more likely to be attacked by these pathogens—causing stunted growth, or even death. The farther away a seedling is from a mature tree, the less likely it is to get infected. These distant seedlings are more likely to survive to maturity. A pattern emerges where the mature pine trees are spaced far apart—leaving room for seedlings of other species to grow, and creating a diverse forest. nnIn the middle of the dance, we witness the tornado—and how it changes the forest environment. The mature pine tree dies, and the forest floor is no longer shaded. The soil becomes hotter and drier. Without the living mature tree as a host, specialist pathogens are less active, and many die. Because of this, I am predicting that plant-soil relationships in recently tornado-damaged areas may be much weaker. In the last part of the dance, seedlings close to the (killed) mature tree are no longer at greater risk for disease; they grow and survive the same as their more distant siblings. The changing plant-soil relationships after disturbances might be one piece in the puzzle of how diverse ecosystems change over time.   Less

The “Discovery" of the Pacific: International Relationships within the Spanish Oceanic continent.nnDavid Manzano nResearcher of Spanish National Research Council (Escuela de Estudios Hispano- Americanos, Seville)nPhd Candidate of University Complutense of Madrid (Spain)noceaniahispana@gmail.comnnThe development of science and the technological advances are going to condition the extension of the great world powers after the advent of the Industrial Revolution. This great ocean will become the scenery of the fight looking for the supremacy between the world powers which begin a colonial race in order to increase their international strength. In this struggle, the development of the scientific expeditions is a key element to allow the `discovery´ of Oceania. Due to this fact, science becomes a relevant instrument for colonization.nThis PhD focuses on the international relationships that Spain establishes with other empires in the frontiers of its colonies in the so-called “Hispanic Oceania”, that is to say, Philippines, Marianas and the Caroline Islands.nnThis area is used by the Spanish overseas Empire as a source to increase its international prestige and to strengthen the “group matters” of the Spanish nation, exerting on the population an unreal image of international superiority. nnPeople assume this fact, as it shows the battle for the Caroline Islands in 1885, being the State encouraged by the Spanish to go to war. Finally, the break out of the Hispano-American war in 1898 will reveal the Spanish nation that unreal image, and consequently the Spanish defeat will condition the end of the Spanish empire within the Hispanic Oceanic continent.   Less

Somewhat sharing the same DNA as Film Meets Art, I wanted to explore the art of comic books and their inspiration on movies, blockbusters especially. In this case I wanted particularly to focus on Watchmen.nSome movies use comic book as storyboards and it is clear that Zack Snyder has done the same. I wanted to focus on specific iconic images in Alan Moore's creation, so not all images made the cut. However, this could be something I can explore more with other comic book movies such as Sin City.nnMusic: Philip Glass - Prophecies   Less
