Los Angeles Times

In summer 2001, the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) awarded me their Mass Media Science and Engineering Fellowship. During my ten-week internship, I wrote science articles for the news desk at the Los Angeles Times, including daily news and features. View the online archive of my articles.
