HONORABLE MENTION Juliana Wall, Cedar Crest College (Dannah Hartman);JKWall@cedarcrest.edu;
“It started sophomore year of high school taking pictures with a cell phone, but when I borrowed a friend’s camera, I loved it. I didn’t get my own camera until a year and half ago and I love having control of the settings like exposure and aperture. I had the opportunity to spend a weekend working with National Geographic and that opened my eyes to the world of journalism and photojournalism. I want to learn how to tell stories with photos, like how do we tell a visual story of this dude in a molecular lab that’s researching endobiosis? I want to help to bridge the divide between the academic scientific journals and what people what to read and see in order to engage them in science. This is my first time in New York and it’s very different from Hawaii, where our tallest building is about five stories. It’s also very cold here, but it’s exciting! This conference is a way to connect with people and see what kinds of opportunities there are in the media world and I want to perhaps to find an internship in science journalism, specifically with marine mammals and biopsychology.” – Zachary Gorski, University of Hawaii at Hilo
