Astronaut Or Astronot?, David A. Gusis
Ideas: Exhibit Catalog for the Honors College Visiting Scholars Series
As space becomes more and more accessible to the general population, the terminology we used in the past to describe those who trained endlessly to become the pioneers of a new frontier is beginning to lose its meaning. Astronauts like Colonel Richard Covey have earned their title and to bestow it on others who haven't gone through the same training or have paid to visit space as a tourist is wrong. My hope is to provide the necessary background information about what it means to be an Astronaut and provoke thought about preserving the term and creating new terminology for …

Neuromorphic computing is an emerging field that has the potential to drastically influence every human’s life within the next decades. Neuromorphic computing explores the computing process of the brain and attempts to replicate it onto modern electronics. It offers improvements on current computer architecture, the von Neumann architecture, and will lead to more efficient computing, easier development of machine learning, and further integration of electronics and biology.
