My points of view were not only challenged, but my beliefs actually changed. I learned that some people whom society views as nasty, slutty, or ?over-reactive feminists? may be some of the smartest and most intellectual individuals in our society today.

Maia Regman Mrs. Magnan Biology Honors 15 March 2014 Why We're Wired to Binge-Watch TV In this generation of Netflix, Hulu, Amazon Prime Video, there are millions of people worldwide who spend hours watching entire seasons (or even series!) in one sitting.

Maia Regman Mrs. Magnan Biology Honors 21 November 2013 3 Reasons Why We're Drawn to Faces in Film Hollywood: the land of the beautiful, talented, and determined.

An article published by Siu-Lan Tan explains why.
