The University of Oregon professor of physic s is leading the way with internationally recognized research into fract als—curious patterns found in nature that repeat themselves. Taylor's st artling discoveries show that these patterns-within-patterns may signifi cantly reduce stress and have interesting implications for psychology\, medicine\, and even the semiconductor industry. Taylor has applied his s tudies to art\, showing how fractal patterns in the work of abstract exp ressionist Jackson Pollock can distinguish a real Pollock from a fake. C ome hear about this amazing intersection of art and science. \;\n  3\;\nRichard Taylor\, PhD\, is an associate professor in physics\, psych ology\, and art at the University of Oregon. Transforming lives by erasi ng academic boundaries might be why Taylor was named Outstanding Teacher in Higher Education for 2005 by the Oregon Academy of Science.\n\nTags: science\, beer\, pub\, geek\, nerd\, mission\, omsi\, lecture\n\nImport ed from: http://calagator.org/events/1250456458 URL:http://omsi.edu/sciencepub SUMMARY:[Science Pub] Snowflakes\, Stress\, and Semiconductors: Do You Se e A Pattern Here?
