Paur, resident mathematics tutor in Pforzheimer House, spent a year following her college graduation from MIT as an apprentice for a pastry chef in France. “People talk about culture shock when you go to another country, but the culture shock between the U.S. and France is nothing compared to the shock between MIT and a restaurant...
