Dear Readers,
It is our pleasure to welcome and share with you our conversations
within the domains of science, technology, engineering, math, and many other
subjects that will induce your curiosity, creativity, and innovation. We are
thrilled to introduce you to a world filled with wonder, awe, and excitement
that can be understood and read by anyone, no matter where your interests
may lie!
Two years ago, we met as five passionate students with a similar goal
to share the art and phenomenon that the STEM fields have to offer. Our
shared goal became an idea. This idea then transformed into the media platform
that you hold in your hands today: STEMTalk Magazine. Finally, our goal
became a mission: to expose and inform UConn students and faculty of news,
opinions, research, and opportunities within STEM. STEMTalk serves as not
only a place to discuss the STEM fields, but also as an opportunity to display
the outstanding artistic and journalistic talents of the UConn community.
We would like to extend our appreciation to our entire staff for making
this vision a reality. Without the encouraging advice, hard work, and constructive
criticism our members, this magazine would not be what it is today.
We would like to thank our head graphic designer, Shemona Singh, for her
beautiful work in taking words and transforming it into an art. We hope that
this magazine leaves a legacy, begins conversations, and continues for many
generations to come.
To our readers, we hope that the content of our magazine invites you
to think beyond what is taught in your courses, ask questions, and institute
the courage to find answers to those questions yourself. We hope that you
enjoy exploring our second publication and we look forward to hearing any
questions, inquiries, or comments either through our Facebook page (UConn
STEMTalk) or our email, uconnstemtalk@gmail.com !
