Our Staff

Hi everyone! My name is Ananya, and I will be serving as Editor in Chief for the upcoming year. I am a senior pursuing a major in Molecular and Cell Biology with an emphasis in Immunology & Pathogenesis. I joined BSJ in the fall semester of her freshman year, writing for the Interviews Department during my freshman year and serving as a co-editor of the department during my sophomore and junior years. Our members’ passion for science research and their commitment to exhibiting the highest standards of journalism are inspiring, and I am honored to have the opportunity to be a part of such an incredible organization. I look forward to the upcoming year!

Hi! My name is Rebecca, and I am the Managing Editor at BSJ this academic year. Given that the field of science is vast and inherently complex; I sought to engage in the art of accurate and effective science communication. Through BSJ, I have had the freedom to engage in various types of science communication and met some of the most inspirational figures in the scientific community as well!

Hi y’all! My name’s Caroline and I’m a 3rd year majoring in Public Health and minoring in Data Science. I’ll be serving as one of the Publicity and Finance chairs this upcoming year, alongside my co-chair Shreya, having previously written features for the Interviews Department for the past two semesters. Outside of BSJ, you might find me working out at the gym, cooking tasty dinners, and unintentionally killing all of my house plants. I’m excited for what this new year will bring for BSJ and I can’t wait to meet new people who share a strong passion for scientific journalism!

Hi! I’m Shreya (Bioengineering + Business ’24)! I’m one of the co-chairs along with Caroline for the Publicity and Finance department at BSJ this year, and I’m super excited to help plan events and fundraisers to help support our mission of science communication! Super excited to share my passion of science communication with other people!

What’s up! My name is Andrew, and I am a second year intending on majoring in MCB with a concentration in biochemistry. I am a co-editor for the interview department, alongside Allisun, and I joined BSJ because I get to talk to professors about their ground-breaking research (I mean I get to do something that some people make a career out of). Also, I am from Chicago, however I have loved exploring the Bay area since coming here for college. In my free time you’ll probably see me playing chess, lifting weights, skydiving, or cooking. I always love to talk to new people and I can’t wait to see who BSJ will be able to interview this semester!

My name is Allisun and I’m a senior majoring in Molecular and Cell Biology with a concentration in genetics. I am an Interviews Department Editor with BSJ and have been involved for 1.5 years. I am so proud to be apart of a community that celebrates the beauty and creativity of Berkeley research and expertise.

Hello hello, we are Anna and Marley! This semester for BSJ we are incredibly excited to be the editors for the features department. We both joined BSJ Spring 2021 and have always enjoyed talking over all the awesome articles and discoveries people write about for this journal. BSJ has definitely been a big source of inspiration and admiration for both of us. As a side note, in this photo, we are hiking toward Kearsarge Pass on the border between King’s Canyon and Inyo national forests.

Hi! My name is Daniel Cui, and I’m currently a senior majoring in engineering physics. In BSJ, I help run the copy department. When I’m not doing physics, I love reading nonfiction (specifically biographies), playing chess, and going on runs and hikes. I’m also a big foodie as well!
