Dear readers,
The spring semester is halfway gone, and we’re more often facing the dilemma of whether to study or to spend time sunbathing in a park. In case you decide to read while sunbathing, you can get some inspiration from our new issue, gradually published over the next weeks, Spiegeloog 418: Time.
Cover by Anushka Sabhanam
This issue is all about the questions you always wanted to ask but never really found time to look up answers to!
In her article, Ella talks about how drugs such as MDMA affect our time perception. Magda then talks about whether punishing children by giving them a time-out is a good idea, and Nita from SIOS shares her critical view on why judging a scientist based on how often their papers are cited is outdated and misused in academia. In her other article, Magda turns our attention back to development when she considers whether there are such things as sensitive periods in human development. Lastly, Arda looks critically on the use of protest as universal medicine to any collective ailment, and argues that collective action is more than going out on the streets.
Our columns are definitely not less interesting. In Athena, Anne discusses why it is the case that time seems to go faster as we get older. Milus then interviews Rosie Zheng, the winner of the 2021 ECHO award, and asks about her experiences with activism. In her Camera Obscura, Anne reviews the movie Silence of the Tides. In Terra, Emma remarks on how difficult it is to prepare oneself for a polar expedition. For The Corridor column, Ella interviews several UvA students on how it was to graduate during the pandemic. Sophie writes the PSYCHsources on sports psychology, and Mualla reviews the book The Order of Time from Carlo Rovelli. Finally, Anne and Magda reflect in their Bacchus about how it feels to be an older student during their bachelor’s, while everyone else in the class is at least a few years younger.
Sit back in the sun, and enjoy the new issue!
