Date:  Sun, 2010-05-16

M&#183CAM Intern Research accepted for International Symposium on Design and Research in Artificial and Natural Sciences (DRANS 2010)

May 16, 2010 –– M·CAM Intern, Ms. Ciara Pratt, has had her research “Observation and Analysis of Context Altered Expressions” accepted for the 14th World Multiconference on Systems, Cybernetics, and Informatics (WMSCI 2010) to be held in Orlando, Florida in June 2010. Ms. Pratt, a Senior at Western Albemarle High School has achieved this prestigious opportunity with the paper written based on her internship research at M·CAM. In her research, Ms. Pratt examined the degree to which authors alter linguistic expressions based on their perceptions of an audience. Specifically, her work highlights the misleading use of language when one compares academic to commercial publications. This research has profound implications in academic research circles, since the Bayh Dole Act of 1980 opened up significant opportunities (and pressures) for faculty to patent work before it was published. By examining linguistic shifts based on the intended audience, Ms. Pratt’s work shows that systematic, misleading information may be an unintended consequence of this legislation.
