The Science Survey

Arianne Browne, Staff Reporter

Arianne Browne is an Editor-in-Chief for ‘The Science Survey,’ a position she’s dreamed of ever since she was a child. Writing has been her passion for as long as she can remember, and she believes that written works of journalism are one the few mediums that allows one to view a story in a new light, with the ability to transport a reader into the shoes of another. Photojournalism also plays a role in the capturing of a viewer in a moment in time that they may not have personally experienced. For Arianne, it is important for people to be exposed to the world at large, seeing it for the beautiful chaos that it is, particularly through Arianne’s journalistic writing. In her free time, Arianne enjoys tutoring younger children, traveling to places that she has never been (even if the places are right in New York City), and pursuing photography. Right now, Arianne has her eyes set on graduate school in business, but she hopes that writing and journalism will play a role in her life, no matter what future career paths she decides to follow.

The top was decorated with strawberries and blueberries.” This cake is pictured here. It’s the third cake from the left on the top row.

Pareidolia is linked to our familiarity with an object. For example, if we stare at the object for a long time, eventually we start to notice its hidden features. Olivia Wronski ’22 thinks that “people see faces in nonhuman objects in life because we look for ourselves in the world around us, which can cause our brains to become creative and pick out faces from patterns.” The bark of this tree, for instance, resembles a human face.

“I always try to be ‘human,’ but this year I made a concerted effort to err on the side of hyper flexibility and kindness. I have no doubts that some students will take advantage of this, but in the end, if the worst thing that could be said was that I was generous with an extension or I was ‘light’ this year....

Josephine Kinlan '22 believes that “a lot of 90’s trends are making comebacks; I’ve specifically seen low rise jeans, flared pants, and wallet chains become popular recently. I think that certain fashion trends, like plaid, ripped denim, and Jordans will always maintain themselves. They might not be the first option on someone’s shelf, but they become more like staples until styling can make them a fashionable element,” Kinlan said.
