I am a graduate student in the Plant and Soil Science Department studying cold hardy wine grapes and sustainable agriculture. I found my passion for agricultural sciences during my undergraduate degree at UConn, where I spent my time doing soil laboratory research as well as teaching small gardening classes for my community. My special interests include scientific writing and empirical research, as well as scientific briefs and newsletters. In my off time I enjoy reading, crocheting, and downhill skiing.

I am a PhD student in Biology studying avian malaria parasites. I have a master's degree from Western Connecticut State University in Integrated Biological Diversity, and a background in wildlife biology and fisheries science. I am most interested in using writing as a tool to help achieve professional goals, specifically in grant writing, research papers, CVs, resumes, conference posters, presentations, and abstracts. In my free time, I enjoy hiking with my dog, reading, and snowboarding.
Rusul M.

I am a graduate student at the Chemistry department specialized in bio analytical chemistry. I grew up in Iraq, Baghdad and immigrated to Vermont to finish my undergraduate degree. I obtained my undergraduate degree from Saint Michael's college, where I developed a passion for analytical chemistry and scientific writing. My special interests include: scientific writing, science communication, research papers, grant editing, and scientific newsletters. When I'm not working in the lab, I enjoy baking, playing video games, and explore the outdoors.
Stasha M.

I am a third year Ph.D. student in the Interprofessional Health Sciences program and am interested in studying language acquisition. I have received a M.S. in neuroscience and for my undergraduate schooling studied psychology and French. During my studies, I have spent a semester abroad in London, England and participated in an internship at a university in Paris, France.

Sunshine A.
(any)
I am a History MA student studying 18th century European ideas, particularly what they thought about history and what trajectory did it have. I was born and raised in Mexico City until I moved to the US to do my undergrad in Classics, History and Philosophy. Having acquired a love for reading and studying empire I try to find ways in which Imperial thought remains today. I spend most of my time reading comics, playing videogames, trying to finish the reading for my next class or, if the weather is nice, rollerblading.
Tony B.
(he/him)
Since earning a master's degree in Complex Systems and Data Science in spring of 2021, I'm back for a PhD in the same subject. I have a background in clinical trials research, and currently study functional neuroimaging as it relates to adolescent cognitive development and risk-taking behaviors. I'm most interested in using data to tell stories, even in the most technical writing. I play saxophone and clarinet with local ensembles, and spend my free time mountain biking, skiing, and making furniture.
