Shourya Shrivastava

Greetings everyone! I'm Shourya, your friendly neighborhood astrophysicist, and I'm excited to nominate myself for the role of Physics Editor at SciMag. With a deep passion for physics and a commitment to enhancing its representation, I'm confident I can elevate the magazine's physics content to new heights.

My journey with Science Magazine began two years ago, driven by curiosity and sheer intrigue, as I recognized the need for greater representation of physics content. As aspiring Physics Editor, I aim to expand the physics domain of the Magazine and attract more physicist-writers than ever before.

My outreach journey began with creating an astrophysics podcast, reaching thousands worldwide. Running a science blog alongside it, technical editing has become second nature to me.

Contributing to prominent physics and space science journals, alongside tech journalism and association with popular national magazines, honed my eye for detail. As Space Society President, I marked our most successful year since foundation, and also edited a surprisingly huge array of scientific content.

My editorial journey strongly equips me to craft compelling scientific stories. As Physics Editor, I would bring a lot more physics-focused content to SciMag, while bridging technicality and accessibility.

I am deeply committed to advancing physics communication and fostering understanding across all physics disciplines, and I can't think of a better place for this at UCL than the Science Magazine.
