My name is Zach Rusli, and I’m a third-year Physics major at Grinnell College. This is my second year as a Vivero Fellow. I’m particularly interested in the intersection of science and the humanities, and how we can apply scientific principles and analytical methods in different ways. In my free time I enjoy playing games (video, card, and tabletop roleplaying), reading, lifting weights, and going on walks. I also spend too much time thinking about how much I miss my pet rabbit (That’s him above).
Last academic year, I worked with Minna Mahlab, the director of Grinnell’s Science Learning Center, to annotate and digitize a collection of peer-reviewed references informing the best practices for STEM education. This year, I am working with Dr. Jordan Resnick to digitally catalog student’s final projects for AMS-130 (Introduction to American Studies).
