Best of luck to all you Houstonians about to face Ike. I have friends and family in Houston (including my sister), and I’m worried about you all. Stay safe and dry. Write when the power comes back on.
Here are some Ike links:
For anyone who knows Shannon Hughes, she appeared in the most recent episode of NOVA along with her research group at Princeton. Her group’s research has been in using digital image analysis techniques to detect art forgeries (really interesting stuff, actually!), and NOVA highlighted their work in helping the van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam differentiate between real and fake paintings.
Shannon is featured as unnamed female grad-student in Ingrid Daubechies’ group on the Princeton team (starting about 3/4 of the way through the video). For those of you familiar with Shannon’s “unique” laugh, you can hear it near the very end of the video if you listen carefully.
