Hi, I’m Naomi, currently a first year Biomedical Sciences student and I’m excited to be running for Chemistry Editor this year!
I have a keen interest in immunology and biochemistry, and I spend my free time delving deeper into these topics. My interest in chemistry is longstanding, since high school, and I hope to further that interest as the Chemistry Editor here at Science Magazine. Chemistry is an interdisciplinary science, its impacts stretching far wider than just the lab. From maintaining balance in human physiology and the environment around us, chemistry is central to everything we do. As Chemistry Editor, I aim to bring this passion to the pages of Science Magazine, making chemistry compelling and relevant to all students, regardless of what they study.
I’m excited about continuing my science journey here at UCL and contributing to the society’s growth, not just as a member, but also as a part of the committee. With your support, I will make sure to work hard to ensure that Science Magazine remains organized, informative and fun for everyone, while helping showcase the incredible role chemistry plays in our world!
Hi, I’m Noah
And I’m standing for the position of Chemistry Editor for the Science Magazine. Here’s why I believe I am a strong candidate for this role:
I am a third-year biochemistry student with a keen interest in molecular biophysics and photobiology, aligning well with the magazine’s interdisciplinary approach. Serving as Chemistry editor for the 2024-25 term has exposed me to fields and pressing issues that I would've otherwise been unfamiliar with, for example the article 'Could Our Favourite Pineapple-Inhabiting Friend Help Treat Alzheimer’s' which I edited made me re-evaluate how perceive research in relation to industry.
I have practical experience in scientific communication. For instance, I have delivered presentations on topics including Time-Resolved Infrared Spectroscopy at ULTRA and investigation of a Proton-Coupled Electron Transfer pathway in a mutant photoactive protein via MD simulations; this really tested my ability to convey complex topics in a manner which was intuitive and compelling.
I look forward to contributing more to the magazine’s social events, such as pub quizzes, fostering a sense of community among readers and contributors. I am also very familiar with the inner workings of an UCL society having been a president for two years.
In summary, I am excited about the opportunity to contribute to the Science Magazine by ensuring accurate chemistry content and sharing my passion. Thank you for considering my candidacy!
