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.

Hello everyone! I'm Sadie, a sophomore biology major (with a possible English minor). Although I love science, I'm also quite passionate about literature, English, and language arts. I enjoy reading, dance, writing fiction, and listening to music. I'm really interested in participating in our discussions this semester as I think we'll generate a lot of fascinating ideas.

 Hello!  For those of you out there wondering I am not a poison dart frog (user name), but rather a Junior chemistry major with a biology concentration and a psychology minor.   In addition, to my love of poison dart frogs (which has yet to result in an actual purchase) I have a beautiful beta fish who has almost managed to survive for an entire year (this is a HUGE accomplishment for me).  While I have always understood biology, particularly evolution, I cannot say the same for the English language or literature.  I am excited to take this class and use my love of biology to help cultivate a better understanding and appreciation for English.

      My Name is Vivien Chen and I am currently a Freshman at Bryn Mawr. I am thinking of becoming an English Major and am still currently deciding on a minor. Even though science was never necessarily one of my "strengths" in high school, I absolutely love Biology and think it is really fascinating. So, this class really makes it easy for me to enjoy by combining the two subjects together. Questions about evolution and existence are topics that particularly interest me because they raise so many questions and also don't have any right or wrong answers. I would like to learn if evolution is a random process and if the genetic variation of the "fit species" is a random, kind of trial and error process of natural selection.

I'm Katherine, and I am an undeclared freshwoman at BMC. Outside of class, I like to play soccer, write and I'm involved in Shakespeare Performance Troupe. I'm a dual Australian-American citizen who finds the weather pretty challenging at the moment, and wears two coats most of the time. I went to three high schools, two Australian and one American, and two colleges so far, both American, so I'm pretty used to being the new (foreign-ish) kid. I would like to major in English and evolution was my favourite topic in high school biology so I'm really psyched for this class because I hope that it will expand my way of thinking.
