Active Pathways aims to support learning and discovery in systems biology by allowing users to construct and manipulate bio-chemical reaction network simulations using active tangibles on an interactive tabletop display surface. Researchers in systems biology currently run simulation programs that model different experimental parameters such as concentrations inside cells and reaction speeds. Parameters are adjusted algorithmically or by entering numbers into equations. The simulation results are then plotted as graphs in order to discover hidden patterns in the network.

The Partnership for Inclusive Innovation supports community research across the State of Georgia by engaging a network of researchers, community leaders, and key stakeholders to advance local initiatives for innovation. Many of the projects are supported through the Georgia Smart Communities Challenge, a program that provides community research assistance by activating collaborations between researchers and municipalities to explore innovative uses of technology and data in pursuit of prosperity for all. Georgia Smart has supported 20 community research projects across the state.

This ongoing study investigates the effect that proximate criminal activity has on emotional expression in social media. Proximity to crime and well constant fear of crime can have great negative psychological effects on individuals. Social media currently being one of the most popular means of publicly expressing personal opinions and emotions, we expect to find an effect of temporal and spatial proximity to crime on social media mood expression and other patters of online communication.
