In this second volume of the Stanford Undergraduate Research Journal (SURJ), we continue to highlight several of the finest examples of undergraduate curiosity from a diverse set of fields. This year marks the creation of a new section, Special Features, in addition to the existing Natural Sciences & Engineering, Humanities, and Social Sciences sections. Special Features provides an outlet for the highly interdisciplinary work done on campus that spans multiple sections. Much like Stanford with the Bio-X initiative and the Interdisciplinary Program in Humanities, SURJ is evolving to best represent the modern domains of research.  \nUndergraduates are thus pushing the frontiers of human knowledge with the aid of capable mentoring by faculty, staff, graduate students, and even other undergraduates. SURJ strengthens these bonds in the Stanford community by providing a forum to recognize and discuss student innovation. As one of only a handful of interdisciplinary undergraduate journals across the nation, SURJ strives to demonstrate the variety of undergraduate research by publishing articles for an educated audience. SURJ, with its interdisciplinary focus, has served as a model for other research institutions seeking to start their own research journal. As a result, SURJ contributes to a greater appreciation of undergraduate input by the established research community, which at many other institutions largely excludes undergraduates or merely employs them for menial data-entry tasks. Yet Stanford must take care not to regress to such a state, which can only be avoided by wholeheartedly supporting undergraduate research: expanding summer research programs that cater to students who have never engaged in research before, increasing the funding of Undergraduate Research Programs as needed to allow students to receive multiple Major Grants, and ensuring that undergraduates are either paid or are receiving course credit for their efforts. This last point of fair compensation assures that both students and mentors approach undergraduate research with all due respect.  \nSURJ will continue to champion undergraduate research through the 2500 print copies distributed to the Stanford community and selected institutions around the nation, as well as through our website at [http://surj.stanford.edu](http://surj.stanford.edu).  \nOn behalf of this year ’s staff and authors, we thank you for your support, and we look forward to sharing undergraduate research endeavours in the upcoming year.  \nSincerely,  \nChristopher Baer & Rachel M.
