Nur Mohiuddin

I am a second-year BSc Medical Innovation and Enterprise student, and I am excited to apply for the position of Biology Editor. My degree is the intersection of biology and technology, allowing me to approach articles from a deep biological but also nuanced perspective.

My interest in reading biology-related articles developed through my school’s Biology Journal Club, where I enjoyed exploring topics ranging from the latest healthcare innovations to emerging research such as the potential use of psilocybin (“magic mushrooms”) in treating Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder. Being part of the UCL Science Magazine would be a great opportunity to further my passion for reading and writing about biology.

I also have previous experience as a Lead Writer for my school magazine, where I focused on the medical and biology sections. In this role, I coordinated between student writers and the editorial team, strengthening my communication and organisational skills while working towards tight publishing deadlines. I also appreciate the importance of being approachable and supportive so that contributors feel confident sharing and developing their ideas.

I really enjoy transforming technical research into engaging content for readers who may not have a scientific background but are curious about new discoveries. Overall, I would love to contribute to the UCL Science Magazine team and help make the biology section something readers look forward to in every issue.
