In science, graduate students perform research in order to gather enough data to publish research articles. However, in the background they are also trying to – you know – graduate so they can someday get a job that pays rent and such. That means writing a thesis: a multi-hundred paged tome that chronicles the student’s human journey from neophyte to specialist in a specific field. Here at the Arts Union Science journal, we have been performing a similar task in the background and, today, we begin to unveil it to the world. Thi...
