Hi!
Hi Everyone! My name is Hannah and I am a sophomore at Bryn Mawr. I am majoring in Biology with a concentration in Environmental Studies and I'm Pre Med. I'm really excited for this semester because I love Bryn Mawr traditions and can't wait for Hell Week and May Day, and I also play lacrosse and our season starts next week! I love meeting new people, traveling, and outdoor activities such as mountain biking and rock climbing. I also love running, reading, watching reality TV, and listening to music. I am really looking forward to this class and think we are going to have a great few months together!

Hello
I'm a junior Spanish major and Chemistry minor at Bryn Mawr with plans to attend medical school after graduation. Although from my Spanish classes I have experience with literary analysis, I would definitely classify myself as a science person above other things. I just returned from a semester abroad in Buenos Aires, Argentina, and absolutely loved it there. I play soccer and lacrosse here and Bryn Mawr. I also just love sports in general, especially football and lacrosse, but I have an interest in most sports. I'm really excited for this class, and especially to get a better idea of how non science people look at scientific ideas and apply them to the world around us.

Nice to Meet you...
Hello,
I am a sophomore at Bryn Mawr College majoring in Art History and contemplating a minor in English. I am a member of the crew team, though I also enjoy dancing occasionally. To be honest, this class was not my first choice, but after attending the first session, I must admit that I am looking forward to it. See you all in class, or is it the edge of the universe?

Hello-
I am a senior at Bryn Mawr College majoring in biology and minoring in classical studies. After studying abroad last year, I have fallen in love with traveling and have developed a minor obsession with anything related to New Zealand. I have strong interests both in the humanities and sciences and have always wanted to see what a class combining these two areas would look like.

Hi! I'm Dawn.
Academically, I am a senior English major, cities minor and environmental studies concentrator at Bryn Mawr. Why choose between science and humanities when you don’t have to? They work together quite nicely, combining and talking to one another in fascinating ways. Non-academically, I am a sabre and foil fencer, a Scottish dancer and a creative writer. In terms of both spheres, I have a bit of an obsession with Sherlock Holmes and some aspect or another ends up in conversation academic or otherwise (including my thesis).

Introducing Alexandra
My name is Alexandra, and I am a Bryn Mawr sophomore. I am a Political Science major with intended minors in Chinese and French. I am still very interested in English and literature. I love to read, and I regret that I have not had more time to take literature classes. I am also very interested in the sciences, though they are not my strong point. I have discussed evolution in a few classes, but I haven't really thought about how the concepts could be applied to literature. I am very interested to see where our discussions take us.
