Hello everyone my name is Diana Alvarado and I am from Los Angeles,
California. I am currently a junior here at Penn State majoring in the field of
Criminology and minoring in Linguistics. I decided to take this course because
I needed to fulfill my requirement of a general natural science. In addition, I
found this course specifically interesting because it was designed for non-
science majors and focused more on how to teach a day to day person about how
to better understand science. Also, I love the idea of being able to learn
about different areas within the science field and not just focusing on one.  I
am not a science major because my passion has always lied more in the aspects
of why people do the things they do specifically when it comes down to committing a heinous crime. As well as how society, the environment and other components shape the members of its communities. However, I still believe that it is important to have a basic grasp of science because we are surrounded by it daily whether it’s through the action of cooking or how our bodies function daily.  Here is a quick video showing you Los Angeles in a day.
