Broadening Student Participation in Secondary Computer Science Through Principled Assessment of Computational Thinking (PACT)
Despite recent increases in enrollment, women and minorities remain underrepresented in those attaining computer science (CS) degrees and entering CS careers. The low number of students taking advanced placement CS exams in high school, which is often used as a rough measure of student interest in pursuing CS in college, shows that we have a…

Representation and Analysis of Additively Manufactured Parts
In this paper we show that as-manufactured shapes may be represented in terms of the convolution operation to capture the additive deposition of material, measure the conformance to nominal geometry in terms of overlap volume, and model uncertainties involved in material flow and process control.

Previously Obscure Part of RNA Machinery Offers New Way of Fighting Cancer
As a medicinal chemist, I hunt for compounds that show promise as potential drugs. I moved my research program to SRI International last year from a pediatric research hospital where I had the unusual experience for a medicinal chemist of working alongside clinicians on the front line of the cancer fight. I witnessed their frustration…
