Perseverance into the unknown: how the video game Dark Souls embodies how we should approach scientific research

Published by Jason Bennett

At Ursinus College in tandem with Bryn Mawr College, Lehigh University, University of Groningen, and Stony Brook University, I have studied atomic physics, AdS/CFT, gauge theory and gravity, and condensed matter theory. This is my 3rd year as a teaching professor at Villanova. My last position was teaching at Claremont McKenna, Pitzer, and Scripps colleges. I am passionate about helping students combat ‪imposter syndrome’s dangerous cousin, self-selection, by helping them in‬ their ‪applying to grad school, scholarships like the‬ ‪Fulbright, and undergraduate research experiences like NSF REUs. I serve on Villanova’s campus committee for the Fulbright every year so please reach out anytime for help with anything related you want to apply for/learn about! ‬One of my crowning achievements as a teacher/advisor was one of my seniors at the Claremont Colleges getting a Fulbright. We started her application from scratch after she reached out about it due to this icebreaker intro :) View more posts
