Website Redesign: HBCU PSM

September 16th, 2011

The HBCU Mid-Atlantic Professional Science Master’s (PSM) Alliance is a group of predominantly Historically Black Colleges and Universities in Delaware, the District of Columbia, Maryland, and Virginia. These universities are developing and offering new Professional Science Master’s (PSM) degree programs.

PSM degrees offer science and/or mathematics coursework beyond the bachelor's degree.

Here is a before-and-after look at the HBCU PSM site...

Website Redesign: Nutritional Sciences Department

September 13th, 2010

The University of Arizona Department of Nutritional Sciences website has a new look. It's based on an oft-heard bit of dietary advice: "Eat Your Colors."

The site's seven sub-navigation bars reflect the colors of healthful foods:

1. The default sub-navigation adopts a pink Persimmon theme. It points to the department's UA partners and the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences.
2. For People, we're talking purple. As in Grape. This is where you can meet the department's faculty, staff, and students.
3. Research utilizes a green Kiwi theme and covers faculty research interests, diet and lifestyle interventions, and clinical trials.
4. Undergraduate and graduate Degrees sport a brown Whole Grain look.
5. Think Orange for Outreach and learn about the department's community engagement efforts.
6. Centers employs a Blueberry theme to showcase the Center for Physical Activity and Nutrition.
7. News repeats the Persimmon theme and summarizes faculty achievements.

This website redesign incorporates my photos of the University of Arizona campus and a variety of healthful activities and foods.

Website Design: Improving Tumor Radiation Response

September 7th, 2010

Dr. Randy Burd is on the faculties of the University of Arizona, Holy Family University, and Thomas Jefferson University. His research focuses on the effectiveness of radiation therapy in cancer treatment, while minimizing the effects of radiation on normal tissue.

I just designed a laboratory website that showcases his research, teaching, publishing, and software applications development. This website design project included the creation of a customized background that emphasizes his work with bioactive food components like quercetin, C₁₅H₁₀O₇.

Website Design: Optical Sciences Researcher

July 15th, 2010

Robert A. Norwood is a professor in the University of Arizona College of Optical Sciences. My website design showcases his research, publishing, teaching, scholarly presentations, and patents.

The home page features a collage of photos that I took of the sculpture, low water use landscaping, and architecture at the college. (If you're interested in water-saving xeriscapes, the College of Optical Sciences offers one of the best examples in all of Tucson.)

Website Redesign: International Environmental Law and Policy

June 17th, 2010

Ted Parson is Joseph L. Sax Collegiate Professor of Law and Professor of Natural Resources & Environment at the University of Michigan. His research examines international environmental law and policy, the role of science and technology in public policy, and the political economy of regulation.

I just finished redesigning his website, TedParson.com:

The site summarizes Dr. Parson's research, teaching, publishing, and policy advice. You can also catch up on his latest news and enjoy a string quartet performance. (He's a former professional cellist.)

The photo in the page headers is one of mine. It shows a late afternoon rain falling on Kicking Horse Pass in British Columbia.

Earlier this year, I was asked to redesign the website of the University of Arizona Professional Science Master’s Degree in Applied Biosciences. The site serves as a student recruiting tool, and it combines UA campus scenes with information on degree requirements, career opportunities, and application procedures.

Applied Biosciences PSM students can specialize in any area of the life sciences, drawing on the resources of over a dozen biological science departments in multiple colleges on the Tucson campus and Arizona Health Sciences Center.

Website Redesign: Math and Science Education Consultant

June 15th, 2009

Longtime client Sheila Tobias has made an art and a science of being an outsider to science and mathematics. Hers is a household name for books like Overcoming Math Anxiety, which is still in print more than 30 years after publication. She’s also the author of They’re not Dumb, They’re Different, Breaking the Science Barrier, and Rethinking Science as a Career.

In conjunction with the release of her latest book, Science Teaching as a Profession, I redesigned her website. The new site provides information about her math and science education research and consulting, and lists her presentation topics. It also conforms to Web Standards.

Here is a before-and-after look at Sheila Tobias’ site…
