Settling the Dust
Eri Ikezawa (she/her/hers), Low Entropy Volunteer Writer Due to my introversion and general shyness when I was younger, I have always admired charismatic, gregarious individuals who billow a self-confident aura.

I Was Not Depressed, Just Languishing
Jayne Seagrave {she/her/hers), Low Entropy Volunteer Writer I find it wonderful when someone presents research findings on a topic I can immediately identify with.

Who is Your Brother? The Nearest Neighbor
Nasly Roa Noriega (she/her/hers), Low Entropy Volunteer Writer I begin this story with a very common phrase in my city.
