Living From Leaf to Leaf Last week, I dodged bullets while karate chopping an evil villain to submission; I duelled with pirates and discovered El Dorado; Finally, I mixed paint for Michelangelo and tightened a screw on Trojan Horse– there’s no place I am more content than within pages of a book. I wouldn’t label my reading books as a hobby, more like a lifestyle, borderline an obsession. As a child I was rather like a druggie, living...

What can you offer NYU and what can NYU offer you? I am a city girl through and through- I deftly navigate through the imposing high rises in the urban jungle, skilfully ignore the tempting allure of numerous stores and boutiques, agilely glide through the shoulder bumping throng of pedestrian traffic and my senses come to life with the cacophony of toots from cars in gridlock.

When the light turns red, he wheels himself onto the road, weaving through the cars trapped in gridlock. You...

Why Biomed at Bucknell? My favourite cartoon was Dexter’s Lab; about a boy genius with a secret laboratory where he conducted mind blowing experiments but much to his chagrin, his sister, Dee-Dee, always came along to literally blow up his plans. As I grew older, my interests shifted from cartoons to scouring science journals for the latest breakthroughs in science and technology. With reaches in nanotechnology, prosthetics and neuroscience, Biomedical Engineering is an opportunity to give people the chance...
