Link to my paper

Because I talked about it in my last post, and because I feel like the topic is really relevant to this blog, I'm linking the paper that I wrote at the end of the New Jersey Scholars Program. My post on the program still isn't up, I promise I'm working on it and I want to do it justice.

Hope you enjoy it!
