Author: Hikari Tanaka

Hikari Tanaka (Table Writer) is a rising junior double majoring in Neuroscience and Behavior and English who tries to stay on top of a thousand different projects while simultaneously procrastinating on YouTube. She likes playing music as well as dabbling in mashing songs, and finds sounds, as a general concept, to be highly weird. In addition to music, she is interested in all science (including pseudoscience) and stories about people and their impossible lives. She hopes that she can somehow combine her love of science with writing. Inspiration is drawn from Gabriel Garcia Marquez, Erin Morgenstern, and how the 3 p.m. sky looks down dormitory hallways. This summer she will be working in a neuroscience lab for a research program at Rutgers University.
