visualising data structures and algorithms through animation - VisuAlgo
VisuAlgo was conceptualised in 2011 by Associate Professor Steven Halim (NUS School of Computing) as a tool to help his students better understand data structures and algorithms, by allowing them to learn the basics on their own and at their own pace. Together with his students from the National University of Singapore, a series of visualizations were developed and consolidated, from simple sorting algorithms to complex graph data structures. Though specifically designed for the use of NUS students taking various data structure and algorithm classes (CS1010/equivalent, CS2040/equivalent (inclusive of IT5003)), CS3230, CS3233, and CS4234), as advocators of online learning, we hope that curious minds around the world will find these visualizations useful as well.

E. coli chemotaxis: the baffling intelligence of a single cell
I want to tell the story of a beautiful phenomenon in biology. In some sense it’s the prototype of much of the activity of life. The phenomenon is the way in which an individual cell of E. coli forages for nutrients. This process, known as “chemotaxis”—the “chemo-” for chemical and the “taxis” from the Greek τάξις, for tactics—is intelligence in one of its most elemental forms. An individual E. coli has no brain, obviously, and is even many orders of magnitude simpler than a human cell, and yet already it possesses something like a sense of smell, drive, even a memory. Chemotaxis recasts E. coli not as some aimless gut-pest but rather as an exquisitely sophisticated physical computer.
Hiromix
In 1996, Hiromix published her first book Girls Blue.[6] She became known in the West with her book Hiromix, edited by the French photography critic Patrick Remy and published by Steidl in 1998.[7] In 2000, she was awarded the Kimura Ihei Award for her book Hiromix Works. She has published several other photography books that are concerned with identity, community, gender and the everyday.
