To recap, I have been writing reviews on episodes of the Apple TV+ series, Lessons In Chemistry. Honestly, I don’t know why people subscribe to Apple TV+. I’ve tried watching The Morning Show—awful.
Last month, over 140 professorial faculty signed and submitted to the administration a petition calling for the reinstatement of the SAT as a criterion for admissions.
Hey everyone! For those of you who don’t know me, my name is Jonathan Booker. I’m a junior in Ricketts Hovse studying Physics and Computer Science. During my time here at Caltech, I’ve had the privilege to serve in many campus-wide leadership roles and have been deeply invested in the well-being and future of our community.
I write to you in hopes of shining light on an issue that has been a fork in the road for many Caltech athletic teams. I am requesting to stay anonymous due to a fear of the likely repercussions on my athletic career by the administration if I exposed my name.

The class that plagued me the most during last Fall term was Ch 21a, Physical Chemistry, which is an introduction to Quantum Mechanics for chemistry-related majors. My freshman and sophomore years were honestly pretty rough, but these were all supposed to build my skills as a science student here. As a Junior, I was hoping to excel in courses directly related to my major.
