Between 2016 and 2025, as Program Manager/Director of the TREND undergraduate program, I mentored 100+ students in the creation of science communication multimedia projects. All projects are featured below.
I did this on a one-on-one basis with each student between 2016 and 2020. From 2021 to 2025, I developed a workshop series on making science comics, so the approach was more group-based, while I still provided personalized input to each student.
