...military and science school, Polytechnique has a slightly uneven gender ratio—9:1—and I received a very warm welcome. But not only were the students friendly and eager to include me in their activities and campus life, the administration also went out of its way to make sure that matters went smoothly, picking me up from the Metro when I first arrived and even helping me arrange an independent internship alongside my classes...

Now an 11th Trek film is nearly upon us - it opens May 8 and is helmed by J.J. Abrams, the unstoppable force behind Alias and Lost - and I'm torn between horror, that someone is defibrillating the beloved corpse of Trek one more time, and, in spite of all my better instincts, hope...
