Amy Youngs, an associate professor in the Department of Art at The Ohio State University College of the Arts and Sciences, creates biological art, interactive sculptures, and digital media works that explore relationships between technology and our changing concept of nature and self. Her exhibit at The Ohio State Urban Arts Center features photographs of Flushing Meadows, Corona Park that have been mapped into three-dimensional space, so viewers "feel like [they're] there... and see these photographs as almost objects that [they] can pick up and move around." For more of her discussion with David Staley.

The Ohio State University Archives has a huge number of photographs, events, and stories that could have been included in the Ohio State University Press's recent book Time and Change: 150 Years of The Ohio State University. The group behind the book--Tamar Chute, University Archivist; Tony SanFilippo, director of The Ohio State University Press; and Paul Nini, professor in the department of design--recently sat down with David Staley on Voices of Excellence to talk about the decisions that went into the production of the book. Voices is available on Soundcloud and iTunes.

Professor of physics Michael Poirier is a member of the Ohio State biochemistry graduate and the biophysics graduate programs. He joins David Staley on this week's Voices of Excellence to describe his research into biology with a physics approach that manipulates and looks at individual molecules. Voices of Excellence is available on Soundcloud and iTunes.

Statistical modeling can reveal many hidden facts, such as the best time to start certain treatments for childhood traumatic brain injuries. Elly Kaizar, Professor of Statistics, has shown that statistically combining data from several sources gives us the opportunity to learn more about treatment effectiveness as it varies with different treatment implementations and across populations. Prof. Kaizar discusses this topic and more ways statistical analyses can mitigate imperfect data collection with host David Staley on this week's Voices of Excellence, available on Soundcloud and iTunes.

Professor and Chair of the Department of Spanish and Portuguese at The Ohio State University College of the Arts and Sciences Laura Podalsky specializes in Latin American film and cultural studies and researches the relationship between Latin American culture, politics and socio-historical formations.

This week on Voices of Excellence, Distinguished Professor of Physics and Astronomy John Beacom describes neutrinos, the fun part of science--learning something new--and the importance of science outreach for introducing young people to the field. To this end, Beacom leads the college's Science Sundays events, which begin this Sunday at 3 PM at the Ohio Union U.S. Bank Conference Theater. Voices of Excellence is available on Soundcloud and iTunes, with an excerpt airing tonight, September 4, at 8 p.m. on WCBE, 90.5 FM.
