<Title>New Poll: Is There a Line Between Web Apps and Web Sites?</Title>
<Body>
<![CDATA[
    <div class="html-content">
    <p>Every once in a while I'll hear people say something along the lines of "well that's for web sites, but it's not really relevant for web apps." That implies there is some kind of line that separates the two. Different needs and rules that change the game and alter the conversation around them. Is it true?</p>
    <p></p>
    <p>The new poll up in the sidebar asks this question:</p>
    <blockquote><p>Is it useful to distinguish between "web apps" and "web sites"?</p></blockquote>
    <p>I'm asking in a very broad way. Is this a generally useful distinction to make that will help conversations and blog posts and conference talks and thus alter how we think and work on the web going forward? It's a boolean choice to make the results more clear:</p>
    <ul>
    <li>Yep. They are different things with different concerns.</li>
    <li>Nope. It's all just the web.</li>
    </ul>
    <h3>Food for Thought</h3>
    <p>A restaurant site that displays hours, the menu, and photos. That's a web site right? But what if you add an interactive map for directions. Is it a web app now? Or a web site with an embedded web app? What does it change? What if you could make reservations through the site?</p>
    <p>Is the distinction as simple as "you log in to web apps"? What if you could log into a blog site, but the only reason you did that was to leave comments without having to type your name every time (and for spam protection). The site was otherwise just full of articles. Is that a site or app?</p>
    <p>Is the distinction related to "you go there to browse" vs. "you go there to do stuff"?</p>
    <p>Are sites all about content, while apps all about performing actions? What about a newspaper website with a paywall, customizable subscriptions, and re-arrangeable modules? Certainly a newspaper site is about content, so what does that make it?</p>
    <p>Where do social media apps fall? How about sites where you build things? Online photo editors? Accounting apps? Bank software? Does "content" generally mean public content or can it refer to user generated or private content also?</p>
    <p>Perhaps there are more practical differences to focus on. Perhaps sites have lots of navigation while apps have less. Perhaps sites need to assist more in search and discovery of content while apps less-so. Sites might need to consider things like Responsive Web Design more seriously, since it's open and the traffic could come from anywhere. Whereas on apps, it's more reasonable to ask someone to use specific software to get done what they need to. </p>
    <p>Are sites "easier" than apps? Vice versa?</p>
    <p>If there is a gray line, how thick is it? Is it still useful to know where you sit on that spectrum?</p>

<Title>Researcher of the Week: Rajashree Mishra</Title>
<Tagline>Undergraduate researchers explore their interests!</Tagline>

<![CDATA[
    <div class="html-content">Meet Rajashree, she is a <a href="http://biology.umbc.edu/" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">Bioinformatics &amp; Computational Biology major</a> and an undergraduate researcher at the Howard Hughes Medical Institute. Her research probed into the micro-biological world of protein interaction which is essential to understand function within cells, pathways and relationship to diseases.<br><br><strong>How did you find your mentor for year research project?</strong><br>Through the <a href="http://www.hhmi.umbc.edu/hhmischolars/index.html" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">Howard Hughes Medical Institute Scholars Program</a>.<br><br><strong>How did you know this was the project you wanted to do?</strong><br>I chose the lab because of the friendly environment, the skills I knew I would be learning, and the idea of developing a tool that could be useful for the scientific community. <br><br><strong>Is this your first independent research project?</strong><br>Yes.<br><br><strong>Do you get course credit for this work?</strong><br>Yes, it counts for an upper level biology elective.<br><br><strong>How much time do you put into it?</strong><br>I put it in about 12 hours a week.<br><br><strong>How did you hear about the </strong><a href="http://www.umbc.edu/undergrad_ed/research/URA/" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">Undergraduate Research Award (URA</a><strong>) program?</strong><br>A fellow undergraduate in the lab received a URA.<br><br><strong>What academic background did you have before you applied for the URA?</strong><br>When I applied, I had 2.5 years of undergraduate courses. This includes Biology, Chemistry, Math, Physics, Statistics and Computer Science.<br><br><strong>Was the application difficult to do?</strong><br>No, because I have written abstracts before and I was very familiar with my work.<br><br><strong>How much did your mentor help you with the application?</strong><br>I wrote the application independently and she reviewed and edited it.<br><br><strong>What has been the hardest part about your research?</strong><br>The hardest part about the research is evaluating my method. It’s a unique method and is hard to find other methods out there to compare it to.<br><br><strong>How does your research relate to your work in other classes?</strong><br>My research relates to the skills I learned in my computer science classes and it can be applied to the information I learn in my biology classes.<br><br><strong>What else are you involved in on campus?</strong><br>I am president of Hindu Students Council and a member of UMBC ADAA, and the South Asian fusion dance team<br><br><strong>What is your advice to other students about getting involved in research? </strong><br><br>“What is research, but a blind date with knowledge.”<br> -William Henry<br><br>What you learn from books and lectures is incomparable to the information and skills you learn from being involved in research. In my opinion, a great research experience is based on how much you learned and what skills you gained from the experience.<br><br><strong>What are your career goals?</strong><br>I will be applying to PhD programs this Fall. As I work towards completing my PhD, I will better understand whether or not I want to stay in academia, work for the government, or go into industry. I eventually would like to teach at the college level.<p><br></p>
