Letter from the Editor
Full text linkDear Reader,
Thank you for picking up this semester’s issue of OSMOSIS. We are a student-run magazine filled with all things science! Inside these pages, you will find articles exploring all aspects of science, from straight scientific arguments to philosophical questions regarding mathematics and learning in a world of AI.
We have a talented group of writers, editors, and designers this year, and I cannot wait to share with you our spring issue. It is bittersweet to put together my final issue of OSMOSIS, and little makes me prouder than being a part of this team. Whatever article you choose to read, I hope you find something you enjoy as much as we enjoyed putting it all together.
Thanks to all who helped make the magazine possible, and thank you, reader, for giving us a moment of your time.
Happy reading!
