Summary

In this episode, hosts Dr. Sabah Kadri and Arshi Arora discuss the genetics of our cute furry friends, the effects of domestication on natural selection and how years of in-breeding have led to the study of clear mappings between dog traits and gene variants. Our hosts gave each other a task to come up with some interesting traits and their genetic markers. A must listen. Ostrander, E. A., & Wayne, R. K. The canine genome.

Harvard Extension School's Computer Science E-7: Exposing Digital Photography Dan Armendariz Photography has exploded in recent years as digital cameras have become affordable and easier to use. There are many courses that teach students the artistic aspect of "how to become a better photographer" or "how to improve your eye," but this is not one of them. Instead, students—from one-time users to professionals—become better photographers through an understanding of the technical aspects and terms of a digital camera. Learn why photos look blurry at night, why color management is important, what the difference between sports mode and portrait mode on the camera's dial is, and how to manipulate the camera without the need of these modes in the first place. Topics include exposure and metering, flash, dynamic range, CMOS and CCD sensors, color filter arrays, RAW versus JPEG formats, color spaces and profiles, editing photos with Photoshop, and optical and computational artifacts. Through lectures and hands-on assignments, students understand the jargon and compromises of digital p TRXL Evan Troxel TRXL is the definitive podcast on technology and the architecture and engineering professions — and the longest-running. 200+ episodes. Five years. Conversations with the founders, researchers, designers, and firm leaders who are actually shaping how architecture gets practiced.Hosted by Evan Troxel, a licensed architect with over 25 years in AEC, TRXL is built for architects, BIM managers, design technologists, computational designers, and firm leaders who want to stay ahead of where the profession is going — not catch up after it's already moved.Topics include artificial intelligence in architecture, BIM, digital practice, firm culture, design tools and workflows, project delivery, sustainability, and the organizational transformation that follows when the technology your firm depends on keeps changing.Each episode is a long-form, unscripted conversation with guests who are doing the work — not narrating it from the sidelines.
