• HANGOUTS: Manhattan’s highest, newest bar

04 Oct

Send us your announcements and pictures if you’ve got a new or re-worked place for drinks and gatherings anywhere in New York State.

33rd and 34th floors
Fairfield Inn & Suites by Marriott
330 West 40th Street
New York, NY

It’s nice to know that in the Big Apple, people still aim for the stars. The biggest, the brightest, the smallest, the lowest, the highest … . Now, Manhattan’s highest rooftop bar and lounge is officially open. The bi-level Sky Room, a 5,000 square foot venue, has 360-degree views of Manhattan and the Hudson River. It consists of five spaces — the Times Square Lounge, the Cube balcony, the Private Salon, the North terrace (which has a retractable roof), and the South Terrace, which has private cabanas. Sky Room was created by architect Stephen B. Jacobs and affiliate interior designer Andi Pepper. Among many interesting visual effects, they came up with a coffered ceiling with LED lighting that is a stylized abstraction of Times Square, said to mimic an aerial view of the intersection of Broadway and 7th Avenue.

The newcomer has an interesting cocktail lineup created by Allen Katz, Juan Coronado, Sandra Suarez, Joanie Foughner and Thierry Pomies. It includes such drinks as the Southern Exposure (Woodford Reserve Bourbon poured into a muddled mix of seasonal berries and sour mix, shaken vigorously, strained over ice, and energized with a splash of Monster Energy Drink and a float of Southern Comfort), Dragon Flight (Bacardi Dragon Berry mixed with freshly muddled strawberries, mint and limes, topped with a long shot of club soda) and the Broadway-inspired Great White Way (Absolut Vodka spruced up by muddled cucumber slices, bitters, and sour mix.)

Food-wise, there’s a small but smart bar menu with such offerings as S.O.B. — South of the Border — Tacos (crispy corn tortillas filled with five-spiced crab meat, topped with sweet pickled red chili wheels and drizzled with chipotle vinaigrette), Croquetas Cohiba (lightly breaded cigars of cured Spanish ham and cheese, deep fried, and served with a citrus aioli) and a line of pizzas and sliders. Happy hour is 4 to 7 p.m. Monday through Friday. Reservations: (212) 380-1195 .

Check back weekly for new content–because there’s always more to the story.

Click the titles below to read the stories.

A Breakthrough Prize For Life Sciences (+)

In the spring issue of E&S, we talked to Caltech physicists John Schwarz and Alexei Kitaev about the Breakthrough Prize in Fundamental Physics in our article, “Glitz and Qubits.” Alexander Varshavsky, Caltech’s Howard and Gwen Laurie Smits Professor of Cell Biology, is also a Breakthrough Prize winner; he was awarded one of the six 2014 Breakthrough Prizes in Life Sciences.

Colloquium Examines Graduate Student Life (+)

The Graduate Student Council recently hosted a forum designed to bring graduate students, faculty, and the administration together to discuss important campus issues including campus culture, mentoring, diversity, and work-life balance.

A Bold Enterprise (+)

Our Winter 2015 article “Seeking a Balanced Equation” referenced the Star Trek musical parody Boldly Go!, which was written by Caltech grad student Grant Remmen and his brother, Cole.

Caltech Grads Lead Key U.S. Research Agencies (+)

Today’s graduate students, like those showcased in our Winter 2015 issue, often become tomorrow’s scientific leaders. The careers of France Córdova (PhD ’79), Arati Prabhakar (MS ’80, PhD ’85), and Ellen Williams (PhD ’81), offer dramatic examples of how true that can be. #AGradExperience

Caltech’s First Grad Students (+)

Our Winter 2015 issue highlighted PhD students’ efforts to navigate copious amounts of coursework, lab work, and teaching duties as well as their personal lives. Here we look at two of Caltech’s pioneering graduate students. #AGradExperience

Endnotes (+)

In our Fall 2015 issue, we asked alumni to share what they would do if they had no limits. Here are some of their responses. #Endnotes

A Passion for Physics—and Fashion (+)

As we noted in the Fall 2015 issue, the tiny hairs on gecko feet exploit attractive forces—called van der Waals forces—to allow the reptiles to defy gravity. Using a technology based on the same mechanism, one enterprising alumnus has found a way to meld physics with fashion. #RandomWalk

How an RNA Gene Silences a Whole Chromosome (+)

Our Fall 2015 article “Unlocking the Chemistry of Life” noted how Caltech’s Proteome Exploration Laboratory has helped researchers like biologist Mitch Guttman decipher details of the human proteome—the proteins encoded by the human genome. Here we dive deeper into Guttman’s exploration of how an abundant class of RNA genes, called long non-coding RNAs, can regulate key genes. #UnlockingTheChemistryOfLife

A Passion for Entanglement (+)

Our Fall 2015 article “Full Circle Physics” highlighted Caltech’s Institute for Quantum Information and Matter (IQIM) and its researchers who are exploring the frontiers of quantum science. We revisit the topic here from the viewpoint of SURF participant Patrick Rall, a senior who spent the summer there doing cutting-edge science. # FullCirclePhysics

Cryo-EM: The Next Generation (+)

As noted in our Fall 2015 article “Viral Videos (And Bacterial Ones, Too)”, Grant Jensen, professor of biophysics and biology, has trained 11 researchers over the last decade in the use of electron cryotomology (cryo-EM); many of them have gone on to build and run cryo-EM labs of their own in various corners of the globe. Here, we talk to a few of those he has trained about their time in the Jensen lab. #ViralVideos

Taking Dinosaur Temperatures with Eggshells (+)

Caltech geochemist John Eiler has a knack for finding novel scientific niches to investigate, as we reported in our Fall 2015 article “Ready, Set, Explore.” One of his current areas of interest is measuring the body temperatures of a wide range of dinosaurs, providing insight into how the animals may have regulated their internal heat. #ReadySetExplore

Plenty of Room at the Blackboard (+)

In 2011, E&S published a story highlighting the recipients of the Richard P. Feynman Prize for Excellence in Teaching, named for the late Richard Feynman, one of the most brilliant theoretical physicists and original thinkers of the 20th century.

In honor of the Institute’s first TeachWeek Caltech event—occurring October 19–23, 2015, we thought we would revisit and update that earlier article to include the honor’s four new recipients, who—like those who came before—were recognized for their ability, creativity, and innovation in teaching. #PlentyofRoomattheBlackboard

SURFing LIGO (+)

As noted in our Fall 2015 Random Walk article, “An Advanced Look,” Caltech president Thomas Rosenbaum spent a few hours in May 2015 touring the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-wave Observatory (LIGO) in Hanford, Washington. This past summer, 27 students in Caltech’s Summer Undergraduate Research Fellowships (SURF) program got an even more intimate look at LIGO: they became full partners in one of the biggest, most complex physics experiments ever. #RandomWalk

Moore Than Expected (+)

Our Fall 2015 issue discussed the 50-year history of Moore’s Law—a surprisingly prescient prediction by Gordon Moore (PhD ’54) that the number of transistors that could fit on a single silicon chip would double approximately every two years. A brief video explores how that growth has changed computing … and our world.  #TheLawOfMoore

Coming to Grips with a Gecko’s Tricks (+)

In the Fall 2015 issue, we wrote about how the tiny hairs on gecko feet exploit attractive forces—called van der Waals forces—between temporary electric dipoles to create adhesion. But a video is worth 10,000 words. #RandomWalk

Endnotes (+)

In our Summer 2015 issue, we asked alumni to share the campus sounds that most remind them of Caltech. Here are some of their responses. #Endnotes

Preparing for Earthquakes with ShakeAlert (+)

Our Summer 2015 article “Everything Noise” examined how vibrations of matter and energy can reveal crucial information about our world—at least when we’re able to tease a signal from the noise that often obscures it. We follow up here on that and a related topic from our Summer 2013 issue, “Can We Predict Earthquakes?” #EverythingNoise

Spiros Michalakis Tells an Unfinished Story (+)

Spiros Michalakis, the manager of outreach and a staff researcher at Caltech’s Institute for Quantum Information and Matter, drew a crowd of science-loving students to his 2013 TEDxYouth@Caltech lecture, “Atoms—An Unfinished Story.” #SuperheroPhysics

Fire and Ice: The Timing Was Nice (+)

Our Summer 2015 issue highlighted a geological tour of Iceland by faculty members including Mark Simons, professor of geophysics. With limited space in the print magazine, we omitted mention of some fortuitous—from a scientific and educational standpoint—seismic events that happened to coincide with the excursion. #RandomWalk

“HowLoud” Campaign Makes a Sound Point (+)

KPCC’s AirTalk program recently featured an interview with Brendan Farrell, a former Caltech postdoctoral student in computing and mathematical sciences, about his Kickstarter campaign that aims to map the noise levels of Southland communities.  #GoodVibrations

Freezing a Bullet (+)

X-Ray Vision, an article in our Spring 2015 issue, examined the central role Caltech has played in developing a powerful technique for revealing the molecular machinery of life. In May, chemist André Hoeltz, who was featured in the article, published a new paper describing how he used the technique to reveal how protein-synthesizing cellular machines are built. #X-rayVision

The Quiet Man Who Helped Make the Noyes (+)

Caltech alum Chester F. Carlson graduated in 1930 with a degree in physics and went on to invent an electrophotographic process that came to be called “xerography.” He also provided significant funding to build the Arthur Amos Noyes Laboratory.

RoboSimian to the Rescue (+)

RoboSimian, JPL’s entry into the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency Robotics Challenge, faced off against 22 teams from around the world in a series of physical tests that challenged the robots’ dexterity and mobility. #RobotsToTheRescue

Energy Modeling

Want to save money on energy bills and have a home with all the comforts you enjoy? Energy modeling is the answer.

Energy efficiency goes far beyond insulating and sealing air leaks. Although as much as 40% of a building’s energy use is wasted due to air leaks and air infiltration, it’s important to view a home or building as one energy unit, and consider how all parts of a home work together to make it either more efficient or less efficient.

Rather than focusing on a single problem such as an outdated heating or cooling system, inadequate insulation or drafty rooms, energy modeling determines how a combination of improvements can work together to increase your home’s comfort, lower your energy use and provide a home that meets your living needs.

Energy modeling allows for a specific building to be evaluated based on its own unique factors (e.g. climate, human use, utility rates) and simulate their impact on daily operating costs. Modeling can help you choose building materials, design, lighting and more to make your home as efficient as possible before you invest time and money in construction, upgrades and more.

You can immediately see the result of construction and material changes so you can create an environment that is both efficient and one you enjoy. In addition, with energy modeling you can do an analysis to determine energy usage and estimated utility bills.

Energy modeling is the plan before the action. It saves time, money and headache both during the construction or remodeling process and over the long term with lower energy bills.

Contact us to learn more about energy modeling.

The Value of Learning in Tribes- and why Saving Sweet Briar College matters

We all have tribal groups-it may be the group with whom we cheer at the bar during March Madness, or the high school gang we still build our reunion around, or the people with whom we trained at our first job. Those tend to be tribes of choice: we root for the same team, have shared experiences, have endured together.

Our more basic tribal groups are the families into which we are born, the communities in which we live. And then there are the biological tribes-our gender, skin color, orientation.

Our tribes provide us places to “be ourselves”-not explain how we got there, why we think a particular way, not have to justify what comes out of our mouths or is in our hearts. At their best, tribes give us identity, pride, strength and safety. At their worst tribes become xenophobic, critical, fearful and close-minded–in other words, they can embody both the best and the worst of human behavior.

When we are growing up, we learn in our tribe what is acceptable and normal. We step out from our small family tribe to a community, our schools, larger families, larger experiences. How we learn in those groups very much depends on our comfort level, our ability to fit in, and a deep-seated recognition of whether or not we belong. If we become secure in ourselves during those experiences early in life we have the bedrock, foundational strength to persevere, stand tall and be our best selves. It’s what most of us aim for with our children-the ability to be their best selves.

Single-sex education, such as is provided at colleges and schools such as Sweet Briar College, Hampden-Sydney College, Wellesley, Woodberry Forest School, Smith, Avon Old Farms, is a tribal experience. It isn’t for everyone. But it is an important choice that should be available, and I believe that our current age actually needs single-sex options in education more than ever before, but constituted differently than how it began.

Over the millennia, the education options offered to women and men varied widely. In wealthy households, women were educated to be the chatelaines-keepers of the keep, overseeing the requirements of the people associated with the land. Sometimes that included lessons in reading and writing, astronomy, and figures-all needed in order to do their job. The (male) monks were the keepers of learning, and their duties included instructing the future male leaders. Generally speaking, men were afforded more leeway in receiving an education-and I am making very broad generalizations. Over time, women were not given as many educational opportunities, which eventually resulted in people who believed in education for all creating segregated academies for women of a certain economic standing. Some of these academies focused on actual book learning, but in many the curriculum was built around the “ladylike” arts of needlework, household management, artistic endeavors. Rarely was there any instruction in the sciences, mathematics, or other “male” disciplines. Eventually -within the last 150 years- women’s education became more normal, broader, deeper and more recognized. But-these schools were essentially founded as rebellions, a way to provide women an education without discomfiting or disarranging men’s lives. And if one was a woman in the lower or middle-classes education was not necessarily an option depending on where one lived.

Meanwhile, men’s schools were flourishing, proving their tribes with their own particular flavors of learning, whether it was military, scientific, literary, an amalgam-they had choices of a wide variety, all designed to help men “become men”.

In the 1960’s and 1970’s coeducation was driven by the natural desire of women to be included in the opportunities available to men-and men finally figuring out that having women around was actually an improvement for most of them. In the 40 years since that wave of education choice swept over the school landscape many thought that the educational option question had been resolved. Women seemingly had a place at all the tables because they were now being educated with men. The schools that stayed with single-sex were seen as anomalies, dinosaurs whose usefulness was probably limited.

But-now, in 2015, we are seeing that the pay gap for women is still an issue, 60 years after President Kennedy signed into law an Equal Pay Act. Women are being denied access to health care options, many young women, especially in public schools, are still not encouraged to pursue interests in science and math, and just as sadly, young men don’t know how to deal with the young women in their lives whose dress is provocative, sexual innuendo is everywhere, and puberty is extremely difficult to navigate. These, and many other attitudinal challenges are just a few the reasons why we may need MORE single-sex education options than we currently have.

I have had some unique experiences in single-sex education. I grew up at an all-boys boarding school which my father had attended and at which he then taught. After attending a co-ed elementary school I attended another all-boys school as one of 7 faculty daughters, before finishing high school at an all-girls school. I have taught single-gender science, computer and language classes, and my children have attended single-sex schools as did my husband. I know first hand that males and females have different needs when learning, different approaches to thinking through problems and different processes of thinking.  It was wonderful to watch middle-school boys and girls reach the same end goals by almost completely different paths, and be thoroughly and enjoyably themselves while doing so. Being single-gender in high school means that there’s no looking over the shoulder to see if the (boy)(girl) you like is watching or not, wondering if your hair is done right, whether (he)(she) thinks your answer is stupid. All that anxiety and self-consciousness is gone-replaced by a real focus on learning and being truly one’s own self.

When I read articles about how single-sex learning doesn’t make a difference, I know that the writer hasn’t asked the right questions. It’s not a matter of the grades-although grades are important. It’s not just a matter of what the hard data shows. The result of being able to learn in a single-sex environment is that for the rest of your life there’s a knowledge that there are others like you, your educational tribe, and having been with them gives a grounding of belief and strength that is unlike any gained in another environment. The fact of being able to “be yourself” when learning has a profound effect that is lifelong. It shows in the ability to look at someone of the opposite sex and not cave when their opinion is different than yours. It shows when there’s no embarrassment about being male or female-and a recognition that we are all equal while being different. It is apparent when one can realize that it’s lovely to have the company of the other gender, but it is also wonderful to have friends of one’s own gender, rather than being in competition with them.

In the 21st century we have the opportunity to re-think single-sex education using the experiences of the last 50 years, going beyond the inaccurately-derided feminist goals of equality to a humanism that allows us to celebrate and learn to integrate our male and femaleness into our shared communities. We need the single-sex education experience so that we have safe places to learn to be our fully-fledged selves in our genders, so that we can learn to appreciate the good in the other gender, and be allowed to develop our strengths which are equal and different.

We especially need the women’s single-sex education so that we can now fully integrate women into the economic life of the country, the political decision making and the solving of societal challenges. We (women) approach the building of community differently, our ability to multi-task can make businesses more productive, and our willingness to compromise to benefit the greater good is needed more than ever before.

We don’t need gender wars-there isn’t any war. There is a need to calmly and productively educate everyone to be their best selves. We need Sweet Briar-maybe not entirely as it has been-but its core purpose of educating women is needed more than ever before. Let’s rethink, re-imagine and rebuild for the 21st and 22nd centuries.

What big teeth you have!

I love it when people take a well-known tale and give it a twist. You get things like Warm Bodies (Romeo and Juliet with zombies), Elementary (Sherlock Holmes in modern day New York City with a female Watson), and Briar Rose (a novel by Jane Yolen about the holocaust and adapted from Sleeping Beauty). Sometimes just the premise is enough to excite some gleeful writing.  I mean, Romeo and Juliet with zombies! That’s an idea you can grab and run with!

Laura Cooper had an idea: Disney Princesses as velociraptors. And holy cow did she run with it, creating an awesome single-panel webcomic called Velociprincesses. Above you see her take on Snow White, if Snow White were a dinosaur with huge claws and sharp teeth more interested in eating princes than in being saved by them.  You definitely want to check out the rest of her work. You can even get the comics on tshirts!

Personally, I’m inspired to sit down with my writing notebook and just start brainstorming wacky twists on classic tales, and see what I come up with. Macbeth with dolphins?  The Telltale Heart as a political thriller about a candidate that goes slowly insane…OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOH, that’s good! Excuse me, gotta write that now 🙂

Critical Synthesis

The three articles chosen all agreed that an the ethnographer’s goal is to gain information for the ethnography by means of participant observation, which means the ethnographer must go into the field and become accepted by the cultural group in order to understand how the culture operates.  The Wang article, “Writing Live Fieldnotes: Towards a More Open Ethnography,” hints at this challenge while explaining her difficulties in choosing a medium for recording her notes; “Does a black moleskin look too nice for my fieldsite?… Does my notebook allow me to fit in with teens?”  The article from the Appalachian State University library site is especially clear on what ethnography is.  Each article also agrees that while interpreting the experiences from the field is important, the main focus should be how to translate these findings to the reader.  The Blowers article, from the Bethel College website, asserts that the failure to translate meaningful cultural features from its informants to its audience is a common pitfall in much ethnography written today.  This hearkens back to the Wang article where she talks about live fieldnoting, the practice of using social media to share notes with a wide audience.  She describes the value of live fieldnoting as being translative by nature “I can bring [my readers] into my fieldsite virtually and have them participate by proxy, thus making them feel like I am bringing them with me instead of showing them an end product.”  The articles are written for people who are already writing, or plan to someday write ethnographies so they can have a clear understanding of how to do so.

These Past Few Months

Hi world!

It’s been a while since my last post, and it’s obvious that I’m so missing this (not so) personal space.

Dear self, Forgive me please for being a super lazy writer. In fact, there are lot of stories and lessons learned I want to share to the world. A lot, really.

Let me note a few.

* Was busy helping my boss with Master TreeGrower Project held in Sumbawa. It was fulfilling to see how happy and excited the community was in learning new things, and that magical faces told me that, “Yes, we believe something better will happen in the future.” And that priceless feeling when you knew that you brought them “HOPE”. a HOPE that encourages them to keep dreaming, and work hard to achieve the goal.

Master TreeGrower Course Sumbawa

* My besties, Gharnindya Ramawardhani, got married on April 18, 2014. It was a big WOW, that she finally ended her single journey. I’m so happy for the new adventure she’s now in. Less drama, of course 🙂

Nindy's wedding

* Life after failure is never that easy. But once again, we proved that, “together we CAN face it!”. We love you, dad! And no matter what happens, you will always be our only favorite DAD, forever.

* Yay, I finally conquered Rinjani. I went for mount climbing with WWF-Nusa Tenggara team, and that was a super amazing experience. At least once in your life time, you have to go climb the mount! (That was a silly conversation in late 2013, when I told the team that I wanted to climb Rinjani before going ‘double’, and see? It just happened in a magical way. Thank GOD, it’s another dream you made true).

Rinjani summit 2014

* My other besties, Lina, will soon get married this coming June! After all those broken-heart experiences, and galau talks, she finally found the one! CONGRATS!

* I thank Allah, that I finally found the one (it’s not just a thought). It feels so right. It feels so right. Like never before. And may Allah bless this feeling and relationship, till that moment for a life time. I’m wholeheartedly thanking Allah for us together, for this sweet scenario. A cosmological coincidence.

we love us!

I am ready for the next journey! 🙂

Newly Diabetic? Carbs are not the enemy.

I sat in on several lengthy diabetic diet education sessions recently through my dietetic internship.  Though some had Type 1, others had Type 2, some were newly diagnosed, diagnosed in the past year, or diagnosed over 3 years ago, there was a common misconception I noticed during these sessions and others as well.  Carbs are not the enemy! Many newly-diagnosed diabetics may think they have to avoid carbohydrates as much as possible. The problem with this is, when you avoid carbohydrates, what you end up eating a lot of is protein and fats.  Diabetics and non-diabetics alike should be getting 45-60% of their calories from carbohydrates. If you cut your carbohydrates down to 30%, for example, then what happens is your calories from protein increases, and calories from fat increases – sometimes up to 40-45%! Diabetics, just like anyone else, should be eating a healthy diet that contains no more than 30% calories from fat.  Basic nutrition is still important to remember.

Consistency is really the key.  Patients with diabetes want to avoid the highs (hyperglycemia) and the lows (hypoglycemia) because that up-and-down pattern is really what causes all the complications associated with diabetes, such as neuropathy and vision loss.  Healthcare professionals will tell the patient how many carbs to get each meal, such as 60g of carbs 3 meals a day, plus 15g of carbs mid-afternoon and 15g of carbs before bed.  The patient could have their carbohydrate grams from bread, grains, starchy vegetables, fruit, or milk. Any combination as long as it reaches that goal set by the healthcare professional (doctor, dietitian, certified diabetes educator).

Keeping that in mind, if its late and night and a diabetic is hungry for a snack, its important to remember basic health. It may seem like a simple thing to go for a Slim Jim or Pork Rinds due to their 0-carb appeal. However with over 500mg of sodium per serving, and their high fat content, it’s a better idea to go with something more healthy. A snack with carbs are acceptable, as long as its covered with insulin.  If adding another shot of insulin into the day doesn’t sound appealing, a low-fat cheese stick, hard-boiled egg, or a lettuce salad with ranch are some carb-free options.

So remember: carbs are not the enemy. Aim for 45-60% calories from carbohydrates such as whole grains, fruit, starchy vegetables, and low-fat dairy. Fill in the rest with lean meats and healthy fats that come from plant sources such as sunflower seeds, walnuts, or canola oil.  When hunger strikes between meals, above all choose a healthy snack. And if that snack has 15g of carbohydrates or more, remember to match it with the appropriate amount of insulin.

Need help? Check out our Support site, then

why cant I buy a domain name though the wordpress???

  1. volunteer2volunteer

    hi all,
    I am trying to buy a doamin name through wordpress for my blog ... I brought the credits (15) and they are on my account .. when I go to the ugrades/domains then I enter the doamin I want... ... I only get an option to redirect an existing doamin name to my blog ... but how do I buy a domain from wordpress???
    regards to all

  2. It's because it's a name that already exists; if you want to buy a domain through WordPress it has to be unique, one that's not already registered. If it's a name that's already been registered (and you own the domain) then you can only redirect it. If you enter a name which is entirely unique then you shouldn't have any problems.

  3. volunteer2volunteer

    I checked the name out on godaddy and godaddy says it is aviable. Any other suggestions

  4. That's strange. It's definitely available through GoDaddy and a number of other hosts... perhaps you can't register domains through WordPress; I just tried several and none of them work.

    You could contact staff about it after Easter; they'd know if there's a problem or if it's unsupported for some reason. In the end if you can get it from GoDaddy it might be worth it anyway as you can register it for longer, which is better with Google.

  5. volunteer2volunteer

    ok cheers - but what about my credits that I purchased ... does wordpress refund?

  6. If you contact staff they might be able to, depending on the circumstances. You'll still need some of the credits, though; if you purchase the domain from GoDaddy, you'll need the domain mapping upgrade for the domain to work. That's 10 credits. The FAQ can show you how to set it all up. Hope that helps.
