I've just finished Stanley Kubrick’s “2001: A Space Odyssey” and my brain is torn. On the one hand, IMDB is telling me the movie got an 8.3 out of 10 and, according to a commenter, is “one of the best science-fiction films made to date.” On the other hand, I realize that despite its grandiose themes and symbolic motifs, the movie was pretty soulless, its characters emotionally dead and unappealing. I'm torn, then, on whether to like this movie — on whether to acknowledge its presumed artistic greatness, or admit my personal view of its underwhelming emptiness.

“You may begin the test!” the professor proclaims loudly.

This past weekend, many of us were surprised to find our dining halls swamped with exceptionally well dressed high schoolers clogging the lines and gossiping about international politics. Virginia Model United Nations (VAMUN) XXXIV, the University's 34th high school-oriented Model UN (MUN) conference, attracted over a thousand delegates this year from across the nation, with some high schoolers coming from as far as Chicago and Miami to attend. Toting bright orange VAMUN bags, delegates attended simulated United Nations committee sessions throughout the weekend, starting early in the morning and discussing the world’s pressing conflicts late into the night.

Doomsday updates — that is what our national media has boiled down to these days. Scrolling through today’s news sites is akin to reading a 4th grader’s poor attempt at writing a horror story: bold, scary blurbs in massive capitalized 40-point font masquerading as headlines on front pages. Lately, CNN’s homepage has been blaring hysterical Ebola updates while Fox News’ headlines scream of the threat of ISIS, in spite of the fact that neither seriously affect the wellbeing of the average American. News coverage has devolved into flashy red tickers, fallacious metaphors and alarmist language; a media that always tends to bring out the worst of situations.

Midterms week is only just beginning to breach universities across the nation, but one can already hear the hushed whispers permeating the palpable silence surrounding libraries.

For the 19th century, it was classical physics. For the 20th century, it was the human genome project. Now, in the 21st century, scientists are looking to the last great frontier of unsolved complexity: the human mind. We live in an age where many physical, chemical and mathematical theories have been thoroughly studied, a world in which science doomsayers prophesize the approaching limits to our scientific knowledge. Neuroscience stands strikingly apart as a field in which our ignorance far exceeds our knowledge. Understanding the human brain may be the biggest challenge for upcoming generations of scientists. Over the past couple years, institutes across the world have expanded their Neuroscience departments significantly (just look at the ambitious new BrainHub initiative at Carnegie Mellon University, or the European Union’s enormous new Human Brain Project). And yet, the University only offers up to 25 undergraduate positions for the neuroscience major, which can be a deterrent for many interested students.

When is the last time you saw a work of public art that changed your perception of the world? Or the last time you walked down a busy city street and stopped to wonder at a mural? Maybe an even better question is: when is the last time you admired art out in public?

As I am writing this, Hannah Graham is still missing. By now, we have all heard the tragedy of Hannah’s disappearance: out late after a night of partying, Hannah began to walk alone, under the influence. Since then, she has been officially reported missing, and a large police search to find her has captured national headlines. While disappearance cases like Hannah’s are deeply devastating, what defines these tragedies aren't the details of the case, but how a community responds to them.
