While still enrolled at Carleton College as a physics major, I applied to the AAAS Mass Media Fellowship program and received a placement at Scientific American. In the summer of 2011, I attended orientation and then began finding and writing news articles, blog posts, and image galleries for the Sci Am website. Towards the end of the fellowship, I even recorded my first podcasts.
