Excerpt from paper: "Understanding the rate coefficients and branching of reactions in extraterrestrial atmospheres is of vital importance because it allows us to build a more complete picture of the overall chemical makeup and photochemical behavior in these alien environments. Gaining insight into these exotic reactions is crucial not only for understanding extraterrestrial environments, but also for providing a better understanding of reactions on Earth. The atmosphere of Titan, Saturn’s largest moon, is notably rich in nitrogen compounds and chemical reactions, which makes it an immensely important environment to study.1 Titan’s reducing atmosphere resembles that of early Earth (the first …

Excerpt from paper: "When my professor introduced us to our COLL-100 final project about telling stories with certain objects, I knew that I wanted to research something related to the military. Weapons, vehicles, uniforms, and other military equipment can give insight into how industrially advanced a country is, not only militarily, but also economically and culturally. In the following project, I describe the process that I went through when conducting my research on a tank I found in a British museum, as well as exploring the narrative pushed by the museum exhibit the tank is located in. I will demonstrate …

SEE THEM NOW!”
Little captured the spirit of this place better than the sideshow banner. For a long time, these painted tarps were valued only for their ability to lure in an audience; once obsolete, they were reused as scraps. Since then, …

Excerpt from the paper: "The energy of the crowd was infectious. On a fateful day in August 1884, over 200 men flocked to the City Hall of Washington, DC. They gathered to hear the remarks of Dr. Charles C. O’Donnell, the candidate for coroner of San Francisco, who had traveled across the country from California to deliver a speech to their city. It was unusual for a local politician of the West to journey so far for a speaking engagement, but this peculiarity only seemed to warm the crowd to him more. Under the shadow of the Capitol, the anticipation …
