​
For Dr. Wayne Newhauser, 3D scanners aren’t just for motion picture or textile industries. He believes they can also be used in the next step of breast cancer research.

No two female bodies are created the same, which is why Newhauser believes 3D technologies are a technological breakthrough in specializing care to the individual patient and their body. The scanners and printers are used to create individualized models that allow professionals the opportunity to conduct personalized treatment plans.

Newhauser currently serves as the director of LSU’s medical physics program. He spends his time working with up-and-coming researchers within the medical field, as well as advocating for the importance of STEM research.

Check out how Dr. Wayne Newhauser plans to change the world of cancer research in his TEDxLSU 2017 talk below.

Belly laughs, giggles and LOLs are definitely in your future if local comedian Howard Hall is in the room. And it’s not as easy as you’d think to get the whole room laughing!
​
Hall says there is a science to comedy. For every move he makes, he is analyzing the crowd, picking up on their behaviors and preparing to adjust his sketch at the drop of a hat if the audience isn’t responding well. With a strong comedic strategy at hand, Hall is working to revitalize the comedic scene in Baton Rouge by sharing what he’s learned with up-and-coming comedians.
​

Want to learn more about the science of comedy? Watch Hall’s 2017 TEDxLSU talk below.
