UCLA and Cal Poly are both great schools. I know this because my mom went to UCLA, and my dad went to Cal Poly Pomona. I would really love to be accepted into either one of these schools, but first we should see which is better for me. I would love to focus my studies in science and/or art. My research will show how different these schools really are and which would be a better choice for me. I will compare their cost, academics and rankings. Let’s begin with cost. UCLA costs $12,816 for a…

The first article essentially argued that Trump tax cut benefited no one and had very little public support. It stated that the GOP proposed tax reform would raise taxes on most individuals including the middle class, add 13 million Americans to the ranks of uninsured all to pay for corporate tax cuts. After making these points, the article shifted gears into discussing how even CEO’s don’t support the idea. This is because they understand that changing tax rates is not that important a factor…

CRISPR. It sounded like a new cereal or snack food when my AP Biology teacher first mentioned this technology. Instead, she introduced a gene editing tool developed in 2011 by Jennifer Doudna, a graduate of Pomona College. Using proteins that precisely cut DNA, scientists can make specific genome edits, which have already resulted in cures for mice with sickle cell anemia. Almost daily, I hear about research that cures even more genetic diseases using this technique. This technology fascinates…

He is famous for saying “For Southern California, this could be the start of something really special.” (Staff, 2015). Paul was right, but it was not an easy journey to the top. The first…

The most impactful books are those that bring world inside of them to life in vivid detail. In Hope Jahren’s “Lab Girl,” the world brought to life is our own. However, rather than conveying a human-centric story, Jahren focuses on an often-forgotten character: plants. Jahren is a geochemist and geobiologist, and “Lab Girl” is a cross between a memoir and a textbook explaining the intricacies of plant life. The most memorable excerpts are those where plants are personified, from the stories…

Summer Twins Review: A Dreamy Dance Party Kicking off Valentine’s Day weekend with great music is not a bad way to dive into the holiday, for couples and singles alike. This last Friday, February 12, Summer Twins performed at Acerogami, Pomona, CA, joined by Veronica Bianqui. The entire event had a drinks-with-friends vibe, framed by the venue’s exposed brick, low lighting, projected music videos, and a few heart-shaped balloons at the stage. The beauty of smaller venues is the level of…
