...comfort in the face of a newfound anonymity amongst fellow lifelong standouts. Both departing Yankees great Alex Rodriguez and, by his own admission, UC President Ryan A. Petersen ’08 nearly cracked under such pressure upon first arriving. Only after these crises did each go on to distinguish himself. They illustrate the peril of newcomers facing an adjustment that the finest clubhouse amenities and undergraduate dorms, the best hitting coaches and teaching fellows, cannot alleviate...

Upon seeing her work, this variety is understandable: She captures science in such an aesthetically moving way that it is difficult, if even possible, to distinguish her scientific photographs from works of art. I feel that it is really important to clarify that I do not consider myself an artist. I bring in an aesthetic to science, that perhaps may make it look like art. I like to separate myself from the art world because [my work...
