Cool Things from UCLA:
1. Travel through time
Rather than surfing the web, going from site to site, what if you
could surf a city, browse its streets and buildings, meet friends
and strangers in a hyperlinked world, go back in time, and reemerge
in another city? At www.hypercities.com,
you can connect geographical locations (like Los Angeles, Tel Aviv,
Berlin, New York and Ollantaytambo) with the stories and histories
of the people who live there now and those who have lived there
in the past. <more>
2. Where does it hurt?
Want patient-friendly health information? UCLA Health System’s
Health
Encyclopedia provides the most comprehensive resource available
online free of charge. See more than 11,000 pages of content detailing
diseases, symptoms, medical tests, injuries and other common health
and medical questions.
Bonus check out webcasts,
where UCLA physicians answer medical questions from people on the
street.
3. A personal trainer in pixels
Accessing UCLA Recreation’s online instructional
videos is like having your own personal trainer available 24
hours a day. The free physical fitness tips range from how to maximize
your time at the gym to how to get a workout without leaving your
desk.
4. ART AND EXHIBITS:
That extends to www.hammer.ucla.edu,
where you can check out virtual exhibits, plus videos and podcasts
of events with visionaries in an astounding array of fields.
