Event Recap
“How to Give a Short Talk”
Managing Editor, José Morán (he/they), recaps this engaging talk by UCI’s Dr. Dequina Nicholas.
The “take home message” of this workshop was to have a “take home message” in the first place.
Opinion
“Why You Might Benefit from Attending a Writing Retreat”
Managing Editor, José Morán (he/they), recaps GPS-STEMs first 3-day Writing Retreat.
Waiting to be inspired or motivated wasn’t always a winning plan. Creating habits is key, and this writing retreat at least gave me the momentum to get going and create those habits outside of the writing retreat.
Science Communication
“Hooked on Science: Sharing Research Through Radio
UC Irvine PhD Candidate, Dominic Javonillo (he/they), discusses his experience using public radio to make complex science accessible to a wider audience, and how this communication can increase public engagement.
“Beyond reaching these listeners through radio, writing for the Loh Down may also shift their attitudes and opinions on scientific research.”
Professional Development
“Industry Internship Experiences are Important Pt. 1”
PhD candidate Jessie Altieri shares her experience applying and completing an industry internship.
Coming Soon.
