  • crafted articles for more than 6 million pairs of eyes while assisting with DISCOVER magazine's Web site production
  • worked with Research Communications at Ohio State — one of the nation's top-ten public research institutions — to cultivate an inside understanding of the world of public information
  • interned with the Fermilab public affairs, where he reported daily news for the world's (then) largest particle physics laboratory and contributed to symmetry magazine
  • broke into journalism as a writer, photographer, editor and teaching assistant for The Lantern, The Ohio State University's student-run newspaper, where he launched its first-ever science section
