Science Magazine Society: Biology Editor

I am truly enthusiastic about applying for the role of Biology Editor at UCL Science Magazine, as I am deeply passionate about making the wonders of science both captivating and comprehensible. With my excellent communication skills and a natural love for public speaking, I thrive on transforming complex scientific concepts into engaging, accessible narratives. My meticulous editorial abilities, keen attention to detail, and sharp, analytical mind ensure that every article I will handle is not only accurate but polished to perfection. My deep love for biology is fueled by the endless possibilities of discovery, and I am constantly inspired by the way new research expands our understanding of life itself. Beyond editing, I see this role as a unique opportunity to further science outreach, bringing groundbreaking research to life in an inspiring and thought-provoking way. My exceptional organisational skills and flair for report writing will allow me to manage multiple projects seamlessly, and I am eager to collaborate with like-minded individuals who share my passion for science communication. I believe the UCL Science Magazine is a remarkable platform that sparks curiosity, and I would be honoured to contribute to its legacy as Biology Editor.

My name is Lento Yamagata, and I am standing for the biology editor position for UCL Science Magazine. I believe that as an aspiring scientist, the ability to be able to write and communicate concepts in an accessible way is one of the most important aspects of the field. 

I believe I am the ideal candidate for the position, with experience peer reviewing a scientific research paper and getting first-hand lab experience in two summer internships overseas as a BSc Biomedical Sciences Student. Having experienced a taste of academia from multiple angles, I want to give back to the world of science through this role as editor for the UCL Science Magazine. I can't wait to work with you to produce the best possible work together!

Hey everyone, I am Katie, and I am a third year Natural Sciences student. As the biology editor for Science Magazine and copy editor for Kinesis science magazine this year, I have gained experience writing new articles and helping others by leaving constructive comments and suggestions in a way that does not remove the personality of the article or the individual writing style. Clarity and accuracy are highly important when communicating complex science to all audiences and are the main things I focus on when editing articles. 

I really enjoy writing my own pieces, and also find it very interesting editing other people’s work and experiencing different writing styles. I understand how difficult and unfamiliar it can feel to begin writing as a science student. Because of this, I think it is important to encourage new writers, for example, by suggesting directions to take with their articles if they are finding the proposal difficult. 

I would love to have the chance to be the Biology Editor for the Science Magazine next year and continue the amazing standard of articles we publish.
