Bull: Growth of the Octopus

At the beginning of the school year, one of the IP faculty, Matthew Philipose, brilliantly conceptualized any single project within IP as an octopus.  He emphasized that each student needs to look at her larger topic as the "head" and follow her research along individual "tentacles":  metaphors pointing toward the Literature, Science, and History components as well as other areas of interest.  

The octopus has since become an important guiding concept for this year's program.

Though the faculty have been designing octopuses to track each student's work, one pupil - Bull - has decided to create his own in order to reflect upon his project.  Below are the ongoing results of his work; this post will be regularly updated to reflect Bull's latest contributions.
