What is your favourite memory from your time at City?
What advice would you give to your student self now?
I have honestly never met a nicer group of people than the science journalists in my year. We all became like a big, eccentric family, with Connie St Louis, our wonderful course director, as the mother hen!
Freelance more! I think having a range of published articles before you graduate is really good to have on your CV, and your time at City is great for getting in that little bit of extra, ‘real world’ practice.
I hear the other courses called us the ‘science crazies’. Apparently we were always up to something odd!
What has been the proudest moment of your career?
What did you struggle with most at City? The Science Journalism course was brand new the year we started. It was a case of seeing what worked and what could be improved. It certainly made things interesting at times!
It’s a bit cliché, but nothing beats seeing your byline in print for the first time. Or your first front page story... I’ve returned to academia for a spell, and am doing a PhD at Auckland University. I was beside myself when my thesis proposal was accepted. CHLOE CANN
