Brandi Pessman at HTC25

June 2

The OSG David Swanson award is awarded each year in memory of David Swanson to an attendee of the OSG School who has gone on to do interesting things. This year’s recipient, Brandi Pessman, presents on how spiders respond to rising noise levels in cities. Using high-throughput computing, Brandi digitally reconstructed spider webs to track spider movements during web construction.
