After graduation, five of the women will pursue advanced degrees—four of them on the Hill, and three in the same program (a master’s of public health, specializing in epidemiology and infectious disease).

Most physics starts with forces and fields.
Stick Theory starts with… collapse.
It asks: what survives when everything breaks?
And yeah it measures “almost nothing.” Using geometry.
Measuring structure from collapse is Stick Theory’s way of saying; “Hey, that sure does look like a lot of nothing over there… can I measure it?”

They are dressed in professional attire, including blazers and trousers, suggesting a formal or business setting. The women are smiling and appear to be enjoying each other's company. The woman in the center is wearing a teal double-breasted blazer and matching trousers, while the others are in black or dark-colored suits. The background features a well-maintained lawn and a statue, indicating a campus or institutional environment. The women are positioned closely together, with some having their arms around each other, conveying a sense of camaraderie. The overall atmosphere is positive and professional.
