NAG Meeting 11-20-13

This was our last NAG meeting of the 2013 calendar year … we shared two acoustic nuggets: (1) one on how it may be possible to regenerate auditory hair cells after all, shared by Andrew Hathaway (who has recently started a position with Acoustical Design Collaborative in Baltimore, MD); and (2) a website where you can compare assorted headphone frequency responses, shared by Devin Wong.  Many members of the Nebraska Acoustics Group are planning to attend the upcoming ASA conference in San Francisco. One of those is Kristin Hanna, who presented at this NAG meeting on her undergraduate research on how the directional characteristics of musical instruments vary, as calculated from a Mozart symphony.  Kristin will be presenting this same work at the ASA Undergraduate Research Poster Session on Wed. 12/4!  In total, NAG members will be making eight presentations at the conference next week.  Also, Dr. Wang is planning to host a NAG Karaoke night on Tues. 12/3, starting at 9:30 PM at Pandora Karaoke (close to the conference hotel in Union Square) … our acoustic friends are all invited to join us for a fun-filled evening of song!!  We are looking forward to seeing many of you soon…
