Daniel Ricciardo started his Formula One career as a bright talent, but in the back marker Hispania Racing Team (HRT), he was never afforded the machinery that his talent could materialize into meaningful results. In the following year, he was moved to the Toro Rosso team, which at the time was not a team that could compete for podiums and wins. While in Toro Rosso, however, he scored a handful of points and put in performances that caught the attention of Christian Horner and Helmut Marko, who were and are the team principal and manager of Red Bull Racing, respectively. During this period, Red Bull was in its third year of dominance over the sport with then three-time world champion Sebastian Vettel and proven driver Mark Webber at the wheel of their dominant RB-8 car.

On April 26, Leah Timpson ’22 was walking past Upper Usdan when she felt a sharp, jabbing pain on her heel. A Kiwibot — one of a fleet of at least 15 food delivery robots brought to Brandeis by Sodexo — had driven into her foot from behind her. “I was wearing flats, so when it hit my foot it pulled my shoe down,” Timpson told the Justice on April 30. “I kept walking, and I got to the SCC and looked at my foot and it was bleeding a little bit. My foot was red, and I have a bruise now.”

Aries: This is a big week in astrology, Aries! For the first time in over 150 years, this Tuesday, Jupiter is joining Neptune in Pisces. Now with Jupiter (the planet of intellectual ideas and luck) and Neptune (the planet of dreams and illusions) meeting in dreamy Pisces in your 12th house (which rules spirituality and the subconscious), you are in for a dreamy week guaranteed! If you’ve been waiting for a spiritual awakening, this might be it. Keep an eye out for any spiritual messages or “coincidences” this week. With Venus and Mars joining the party in Pisces later this week, you may find yourself much more introspective than usual. Take this energy and roll with it! Maybe you’ll even learn some new things about yourself along the way.

The year was 2019. Alex Dainis ’11 had just graduated from Stanford University with a doctorate degree in genetics. Many of her peers stayed in academia to continue their research, and others joined the biotech industry. Instead of taking one of those traditional paths, Alex took a leap of faith and started making science videos on YouTube full-time. She also started her own video production company and named it, in classic biology nerd fashion, Helicase Media, after a protein essential for DNA replication in cells. At this point, she had been making science videos on YouTube since 2012, a year after she graduated from Brandeis. Now, she just needed to make it a real job.

Charli XCX’s new album “Crash” came out this week on March 18. It’s an electro-pop confection that is designed to bridge the gap between Charli’s experimental side and the music that might actually be played on the radio. In that regard, it’s probably a failure.
