Election post
Hi! My name is Brooklyn and I am a first-year BSc Biochemistry student. As someone who has always loved science and STEM, I see the field as a way of connecting creativity, curiosity, and communication. To me, being able to spread my own experiences through articles and reviews was something I had always loved. I believe the first year should be a year of exploration and collaboration- students should feel the freedom to learn a wide-range of disciplines to expand their horizons. At UCL Science Magazine Society, this is at the heart of what we do.
I've written research-driven analysis on multiple fields of science, one particular notable culminating a 8000-word dissertation based upon experimental protocol. At my high school, Eton College, I had been shortlisted for the school science magazine competition in multiple occassions. These experiences taught me how to translate complex ideas into clear, compelling narratives- something I hope to share with everyone.
As your representative: I'll make sure first-year voices are heard:
- Encourage and aid first-year contributors through writing workshops and mentorships
- Launch a first-year highlights section- featuring particular intriguing and engaging works from first-year writers!
- Organise collaboration between different societies. e.g. UCLSciMag x Arts Society for even better designs
I want our magazine to be a platform where every science student feels represented and motivated to share their curiosity.
