YouTube Feature: Alan Resnick and Felix Colgrave

YouTube is a candy cane-colored pit of distraction. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve been trying to complete projects or homework and instead have just gotten completely derailed by watching Vsauce and trash crusher videos.

It’s 3:00 a.m. on a Tuesday night (although at this point you might as well just consider it Wednesday morning), and you have just finished a 15-page paper that is due in five hours.

My first summer was spent recklessly (see below, "The Partier") while...

Like any popular subject, it's imperative to remain informed and up-to-date about the different aspects about sex.

Quantum Computing: Not Just Science Fiction Anymore

Wouldn’t it be nice if we could be in two places at once? We would be able to get more things done, accomplish tasks more efficiently, and generally improve our lives at a much faster pace. Or, even better, what if we could be in every place at once? Unfortunately for us humans, it is nearly impossible to be in multiple places at the same time – but that certainly won’t stop us from trying....
