Miranda Hitchens

Hey guys, I’m Miranda and I’m running for web editor! I decided to run because I feel that the digital form of Kinesis has a lot of potential, as it operates with very different constraints to the traditional print magazine. As such, I would love to work with the managing editor Emma, taking on a wider variety of creative projects in the coming year. I have experience producing/editing web content for AI soc’s content initiative, which has given me a good blueprint for the responsibilities I will take on as web editor.

Beyond the success of Issue 9, I think that the special issue and the podcast have been really fun ways to approach media surrounding science, as well as unique creative challenge for our talented writers and artists. Expanding the online presence of Kinesis will further allow us to encompass the scope of and nurture the eclectic and educational content the community has to offer, and introducing new/novel formats and styles of content will take advantage of the versatility of Kinesis overall. 

Additionally, I hope that by taking the web aspect forward, I can engage more with this lovely community that has been a highlight of my first year at UCL. I have greatly enjoyed both writing and editing for issues 9, 9.5 and 10 and look forward to contributing more in future years!
