Meet The Force for Science Interns

Claire Hogan, 2021 Production Intern

Department: Science Visuals

Major: Computational and Applied Mathematics and Statistics

School: William & Mary

"It doesn’t matter how interesting or important the research is — if you’re unable to communicate it effectively, the public won’t know about it. That’s why science communication is so important. It’s translating those huge, complex ideas into pieces that anyone can understand."

Karen Arcos, 2021 Communications Intern

Department: SEA Change

Major: Psychology (Cognitive Neuroscience) and Chicano Latino Studies Emphasis

School: University of California, Irvine

"I’ve met individuals who’ve given me a sense of the breadth of career paths open to me with my neuroscience background."
