The past decade has seen a surge of global collaborations between science and fashion. We’ve seen the rise of online stores selling science clothes ranging from quirky to couture, such as MySciGear’s seemingly infinite selection of quality nerd puns and Svaha’s specific emphasis on breaking gender stereotypes in STEM through their clothing. Science-inspired clothing has made its way to high fashion, like with Dr. Yuly Fuentes-Medel’s 2014 collaboration Descience, which fostered collaborations with scientists and fashion designers to bring “research to the runway.” Within its Media Labs and in collaboration with the Fashion Institute of Technology (FIT), MIT has been a pioneer in developing sustainable and high-tech methods for textile production such as 3D-printed fabrics. And just this past May, the Museum of Science in Boston celebrated its own sustainable fashion show.

An eye-opening New York Times article, written by a professor at neighboring UNC-Chapel Hill, Dr. Rita Koganzon, caught my attention last week. It describes how universities are increasingly extending a mix of carrots and sticks to control more aspects of student life. She explains that as part of the ever-expansive “facilitator model” that has taken hold, universities have reinstated control over student life, in which “It’s not that students don’t have rights; it’s just that safety comes first.” According to her, as universities began to expand and supersede a fixed definition of “safety,” they extended carrots — “relative generosity to their students” — to legitimize their enlarged presence.
In its first meeting of the academic year, Arts & Sciences Council revealed that only five proposals had been submitted for first-year Constellations one day before the submission deadline, falling short of its goal of 20 to 25 proposals.

I kicked off my summer one day early last semester. The day before my Math 212 final, I went outside and opened a book. It wasn’t a math textbook, though. It was L. M. Montgomery’s "Anne of Green Gables."

I remember my first day of freshman year vividly: the rush of adrenaline through my veins as I jumped out of bed to get to Marketplace brunch in time, the excitement as I introduced myself to new friends every hour and the sweet confusion of meandering West Campus for hours as I accidentally wandered into Duke Law School while searching for Sanford.
