“When I came to Brandeis, I thought 3D printing was science fiction,” said Gabriel Seltzer ’18 in an interview with the Justice. Then he joined Deis3D, the on-campus 3D printing club located in the MakerLab above Goldfarb Library. He recalls his early days in the club, saying, “I started making my own objects, fixing printers, and helping out … it all sort of just snowballed from there.” Today, Seltzer is the vice president of Deis3D.
I have not eaten meat in 10 years — that is nearly half of my life. This is a choice I share with 3.2 percent of Americans ― or 7.3 million people ― according to Vegetarian Times. Vegetarians make up 2.7 percent of this statistic and the other 0.5 percent ― 1 million Americans ― are vegan. Among these individuals are those who diligently follow People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals or environmental activist groups. Those in these categories may consume Morningstar Farms and Boca Burgers like they are going out of style. However, for the larger percent of Americans ― omnivores ― these groups and perhaps these food choices fail to appeal to them in place of meat products. With new products like the Impossible Burger, cruelty-free living and environmental preservation no longer have to be tied to vegan and vegetarian diets.
To commemorate International Women’s Day, a panel of leaders from across the University community convened on Wednesday for an event — themed “Be Bold for Change” — to share and discuss their experiences witnessing boldness in feminism.
The nomination of Neil Gorsuch for the open Supreme Court seat raises many questions about how we understand the U.S. Constitution, the judiciary and the press, a panel of professors said on Thursday.
As the first round of spring Student Union voting heats up, 12 candidates have kicked off their campaigns, ready to face off in Thursday’s election.
A night that celebrated Korean culture with food, games, dancing and pop music galore, “Welcome Home,” this year’s Brandeis Korean Student Association culture event, proved to be quite a hit. The packed Levin Ballroom was filled with students and fun activities throughout the whole night.
This week, justArts spoke with Gabi Nail ’18, who played Jeannie in The Brandeis Theater Department’s production of “Leveling Up.”

Thirty years ago, President Ronald Reagan stood in front of the physical incarnation of Cold War division and reaffirmed his view of a global world led by the United States — a shining city on a hill. At the risk of throwing away years of progress made with the Soviet Union, Reagan stood tall and issued a direct demand: “Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall!”
Working 80+ hour weeks and traveling up to 33 weeks of the year never bothered Senior Vice President for Institutional Advancement Nancy Winship. “I guess I’m a competitive person,” she laughed, looking back on over 23 years of fundraising for the University. “It’s been a labor of love; it’s been a joy.”
Fifteen minutes before the show, “Brandeis Cares” cast members flooded the Shapiro Campus Center atrium. Last-minute texts went out: “does anyone want to perform tonight?’” Theater students sat on the red couches, mulling over song choices as they considered signing up.
On Jan. 25, Mark Neustadt’s report to the Brandeis community on perceptions of the University showcased that Brandeis is underperforming in the social scene — something that is not news to many. As such, I would like to offer the administration the following structural reforms in an attempt to make Brandeis a more socially active place. At Neustadt’s last presentation, the administration incorrectly blamed the lack of weekend nightlife on the large number of clubs Brandeis has, but clubs are nothing more than a scapegoat for certain structural failures.
This Sunday night, students found shelter from the snowstorm by gathering in the Shapiro Campus Center theater to watch “Quickies,” a series of single-act ten-minute plays, a deeply beloved Brandeis tradition. At the start of the show, the theater was virtually full, aside from a few vacant seats speckled in between groups of friends in the audience. The performance was more informal and relaxed in nature than other plays, and the acts varied from silly to serious.

When one thinks of the word “art,” one typically associates it with famous paintings and their creators, such as Van Gogh, Picasso, and Da Vinci. As time has gone by and artists have evolved, so too has the technology used to create spectacular works of art. In the early twentieth century, photography grew into an art form in its own right. No longer could art only be defined as a visual form using a type of drawing instrument or clay.
At each seat at each of the round tables inside Levin Ballroom was a little red envelope filled with goodies like chocolate coins and candy, typical of Lunar New Year tradition. The Brandeis Chinese Cultural Connection (BC3) club, host of the 2017 Chinese Lantern Festival, also provided refreshments for each table and a complimentary dinner at the end of the event with delicious plates of rice, sauteed string beans, Kung Pao chicken and more Chinese dishes.
As Brandeis University students well know, Louis D. Brandeis’ career achievements were groundbreaking and revolutionary — but many may be unaware of the achievements of Alice Goldmark Brandeis, Louis Brandeis’ wife. According to the Jewish Women’s Archive, Alice Brandeis was an outspoken advocate for progressive movements and dedicated her time to causes she was passionate about. Alice Brandeis supported third-party presidential candidate Robert La Follette, whose progressive politics advocated against war and in favor of small business and civil rights. Alice Brandeis also garnered controversy for her outspoken criticism of what she perceived as the U.S.’s lack of effort in helping the Jewish cause during World War II.
On Jan. 26, the scientific journal “Cell” published a paper describing human stem cells that were injected into a pig embryo. An international team of researchers led by the Salk institute successfully developed the embryo for four weeks before terminating the experiment — making it the longest living of its kind. While this advent is is a breakthrough for scientists addressing a worldwide organ shortage, some critics have expressed concerns regarding the possibility of animals developing human organs. What do you think of this recent development, and do you believe the possible benefits of this technology outweigh the moral concerns one may have?
Whether students came to the Stein on Friday night for the comedy or the free mozzarella sticks is hard to say; however, no one left disappointed.
Two mirrors leaned against the edge of the Levin Ballroom stage, close enough to the four rows of chairs that the audience could almost see their reflections. “Rise Above: An Exploration of Dance and Body Culture” is one of the many ’DEIS Impact events this week. Maria Kulchyckyj ’20 and Olivia “Liv” Molho ’20 enlisted fellow dancers Emily Cohen ’17 and Joanna Martin MA ’18 to help dance and choreograph works that express ideas about body culture. Kulchyckyj and Molho choreographed the first dance, Martin choreographed the second, and all the dancers assisted in the third.
