To this day, publishing scientific articles still remains to be the most prominent method to endorse and celebrate a researcher's scientific discoveries and advancements in their field. It allows them to share their research and promote innovation worldwide to revolutionise across various sectors respectively. I have chosen to pursue the role as Editor-In-Chief of Blog for the Genetics Society, as research in this field continues to establish itself as one of the most exciting scientific areas today.
With the ongoing development of Crispr-Cas 9, gene therapy, precision medicine, and more, alongside its role in the causation of many diseases and disorders, there remains a vast scope of research that has been unexplored as of yet. With this in mind, I am eager to read what many of you have found to be revolutionary in the field of genetics! With my experience in scientific writing and dissertation submissions, I hope to assist you in publishing your articles, showcasing your exciting areas of interests, and keeping readers informed on any groundbreaking breakthroughs that have occurred. Thank you so much and I look forward to collaborate with all of you to share the current developments of genetic research together!
I’m running for Editor-in-Chief because I’m passionate about genetics, science communication, and making research exciting and accessible. As a second-year Human Sciences student at UCL, I take an interdisciplinary approach to genetics, studying it alongside public health, anthropology, and computational analysis—which helps me see the bigger picture and connect genetics to the world around us.
I’m currently writing a post for the blog on the global rise of allergies and the 'hygiene hypothesis', exploring how genetics and the environment interact in unexpected ways. I love breaking down complex science into engaging, thought-provoking content, and I want to bring that energy to the blog.
Beyond my studies, I’ve built strong leadership and teamwork skills—from being Valedictorian and Deputy Head Girl to being involved in biosecurity research on pandemic prevention with Arcadia Impact, where I’ve developed science communication skills by analysing real-world public health challenges.
This summer, I’ll be attending the Tsinghua–UCL Artificial Evolution Summer School in Beijing, where I’ll dive into genetic screening, bioinformatics, and molecular dynamics simulations. This hands-on experience will give me fresh insights into cutting-edge research that I can bring to the blog.
If elected, I want to make the blog a platform for creativity, discussion, and engagement—somewhere to showcase new research, tackle controversial topics, and make genetics relevant to everyone.
Hi everyone, my name is Chloe Chen, and I am enrolled in the BSc Biological Sciences programme. I am running for the Editor-in-chief of Blog position in the election. :)
Joining the Genetics Society as a first year student, I greatly appreciated the variety of activities hosted by our passionate and responsible leaders. Painting a mental picture of my second year life, simply attending enrichment events like the informative Internship Panel at the start of the school year, the niched Academic Talks, and the engaging Journal Clubs at dusk does not suffice. I am empowered to take an active role in running a leadership position, keeping the rich blood of the GenSoc flowing and inspiring more likeminded individuals.
As a science student, I believe the key to progress and success lies in effective communication. The most efficient way to communicate ideas with clarity across a great distance and towards a large body of audience is through well-organised written work. Previously serving as the chief editor as well as the graphics designer of my high school’s Cuda Column student magazine, I look forward to apply past experience to facilitate the production of high-quality publications in the GenSoc Blog. Having submitted an article as a participant this year, I am willing to take the time and effort to review submitted articles and proofread with care in next year, promoting all interesting ideas in the field of genetics to be shared through the powerful hand of journalism.
