In that ever-mutating comedy we call ‘the internet’, fact and fiction mix all topsy-turvy, giving birth to new categories of information that have no name. Factoid? Fictionelle?
Recently, I noticed the above photo gracing the banner of the Harvey Mudd College Chemistry department’s web site. The site doesn’t name the student, and the HMC image archive refers to the file as ‘girl-in-chem-lab.jpg’, but I know her quite well. She is Reed chemistry senior, Hannah Allen ’14.
Hannah was a summer intern at HMC last summer. She has been back at Reed since the start of the school year and is currently trying to tie a bow on her thesis in atmospheric chemistry.
Who knows? We might get a summer intern from HMC one day. Portland summers are hard to beat.
