Cytoscape & The Counted
Cytoscape! It is “an open source software platform for visualizing molecular interaction networks and biological pathways and integrating these networks with annotations, gene expression profiles and other state data.” In my case, I used it to visualize data about the race/ethnicity of people killed by law enforcement in 2015. The data comes from The Counted, a platform dedicated to […]

The Counted Cytoscape network
I found this practicum very interesting in how we used a bioinformatics tool that visualizes molecular interactions for a humanities and social justice project. According to Miriam Posners article on Cytoscape, you can visualize any information in the format of subject-verb-object. For example: Katy eats cake. Julia eats cake. Katy eats ice cream. This would give […]

But, I had to read the speech several times to understand what’s […]

I wanted to see which law enforcement agencies targeted which demographics of victims. I plan to use the information to focus activist […]

After, all team members should bring all of the analysis together. I have two tasks (“Dartmouth […]

Although I had a two-day migraine, I could not resist going to Jack Gieseking’s, Jessa Lingel’s, and Anne Esacove’s gathering of queer internet researchers from all over! When I arrived at the end of the first panel discussion, the second Queer Internet Studies Symposium audience was already abuzz with questions in the seminar room of The Institute of Contemporary Art at UPenn. We were […]

Voyant Voyage
The two texts I submitted for my corpus were the Martin Luther King Jr. “I Have a Dream” speech, and Ronald Reagan’s “Tear Down This Wall” speech (written by a Dartmouth ’79). I chose these because they are speeches familiar to me. They are both addressing the issue of freedoms, either physical or social. A […]
