Transitioning to adulthood can be difficult but going through it myself I’ve learned a few things. Turning 16-years-old made a big impact on my growth, allowing me to get a job, license and a car.

Is Science Still Fiction?
Katie Abegglen, Multimedia Editor
February 5, 2020
Have you ever stopped to consider that maybe you are wrong? Of course you have, you are human. Humans make mistakes. Have you ever stopped to consider that science is more human than robotic? That the science isn’t definitive? Science is to humans as the birth of Athena is to Zeus. The...
