I’m the science and tech editor for the Glasgow Guardian.

What I cover

My section covers science and tech that’s relevant to our lives as students, and breaks down phenomena we might see online, from “Girl Math” to the horrors of undergraduate labs. As someone who can waste hours scrolling on my phone, we look at how technology influences us too. Personally, I enjoy covering gender-based issues in science (I’m a woman in STEM, what can I say?) and Scotland-centric stories.

Background

I study Chemistry, and watching far too much Gilmore Girls got me into student journalism (very original). My science-communication heroes are Jim Al-Khalili and Hannah Fry. I think my style is a bit more Erin Quinn, however. I can often be found writing for the Food & Drink section too!
