​The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic has been a huge disruption for undergraduates hoping to gain research experience while in college. Under ordinary circumstances, many STEM majors often volunteer or work in a research lab to gain course credit, fulfill work study jobs, earn critical experience to prepare for graduate school or medical school, and find out if a job in STEM is right for them. With many schools moving online and some labs moving to remote work, it can be hard to find programs and mentors that continue to offer research experience.
 
Fortunately, the pandemic hasn’t put a stop to science. Many researchers out there are still looking for help. If you’re interested in getting involved in research, there are several options available in whichever format works best for you.

A Healthier Information Diet in Troubling Times

By Dmitriy Gabriel
There's a misconception in our increasingly hyper-connected world that you must know the latest buzz at all times. Gorging on the news at every waking moment is seen as almost virtuous. However, we as a society are slowly starting to grasp the detrimental effects that an untempered information diet can have on mental health. And amidst this ongoing global pandemic, we need to take especially good care of our already overstimulated psyches. Long story short: It may be a good idea to cut a whole lot of news out of your daily diet.

Check in with Yourself:
​

We have so much agency within ourselves that we don’t do ourselves justice by complying with any sort of distraction or pressure that is unnecessary. After a semester, we may feel like we have to complete a million and a half tasks but in reality we may need to find ways to focus on physical and our mental fitness.

Homeopathy and Science

By Joanna Lee
Picture
The Sick Goose and the Council of Health by George Cruikshank (1792-1878). Public domain. A line of men shaped like medicine bottles prescribe different remedies for the goose’s illness. At the bottom, a man standing on a homeopathy book says, “It’s Cholera clearly and I should prescribe a little unripe fruit – the millionth part of a green gooseberry.”
