problems. Each year she covers the modeling process and techniques, then asks students what they’re interested in. “It’s an ocean of knowledge,” she said. “You can pretty much model anything.” In her own research, Zhu uses math to understand underlying mechanisms in developmental biology, such as pattern formations in butterflies, the kind of unexpected application that opens students’ minds to possible connections—not only between math, physics and computer science, but also the life sciences and

atomic or molecular level. We study the “stuff” that makes up the universe, but think about it on a very particular, tiny, invisible scale. My specialty is finding new ways to make interesting or important organic compounds – those made of mostly carbon and hydrogen atoms. While many organic compounds are conveniently found in Nature (such as the innumerable caffeine molecules I drink on my way to campus each morning), others must be synthesized in labs – like aspirin or aspartame.

, think again! Though anthropology does look at stones and bones, it also examines the politics, medicine, kinship, art, and religion of various peoples and times. This makes the study of anthropology a complex task, for it requires an understanding of the basics from numerous disciplines such as geology, biology, art, and psychology.
