Usually knows all the gossip in his work environment, the borderlands is no different. Keeps a journal of everything he hears. Just to be safe..

Has the goal to become an executive, just so he can possibly get more inside scoop on what’s happening. Yet he knows he won’t escape his position of assistant.

Knight Science Journalism Program launches HBCU Science Journalism Fellowship

New Post has been published on https://thedigitalinsider.com/knight-science-journalism-program-launches-hbcu-science-journalism-fellowship/

Knight Science Journalism Program launches HBCU Science Journalism Fellowship

The Knight Science Journalism Program at MIT has announced a new fellowship program that will provide students from historically Black colleges and universities (HBCU) with training, mentorship, and early-career support to report on science, health, and environmental issues. The fellowship’s inaugural cohort will consist of 10 highly accomplished journalism students representing Florida A&M University, Hampton University, Howard University, Morgan State University, and North Carolina A&T State University.

The HBCU Science Journalism Fellowship will launch this June with a week-long science journalism summer camp at MIT, where fellows will learn from award-winning science journalists, meet editors from leading science publications, and develop their skills in hands-on workshops. Over the following year, each fellow will be mentored by a professional science journalist, who will work with them to pitch stories to national and regional science publications.

Through the initiative, the Knight Science Journalism Program aims to open new pathways into a specialty area of journalism that has become increasingly important in the public sphere. An overarching goal is to help make science journalism more representative of the communities it serves.

Named to the inaugural HBCU Science Journalism Fellowship class are: Mykal Bailey (Howard University), Jonathan Charles (Florida A&M University), Christén Davis (North Carolina A&T State University), Zoe Earle (Morgan State University), Jordyn Isaacs (Hampton University), Steven Matthews Jr. (North Carolina A&T State University), Sabrina McCrear (Howard University), Trinity Polk (Hampton University), Skylar Rowley (Florida A&M University), and Utrurah Whitley (Morgan State University). The fellows’ varied reporting interests range from astronomy and artificial intelligence to women’s health and environmental justice.

“We’re thrilled to be able to welcome this impressive group of students to MIT,” says Knight Science Journalism Program Associate Director Ashley Smart. “They have an incredible wealth of talent, skill, and dedication — and immense potential to do science reporting that really impacts people’s everyday lives.”

The Knight Science Journalism Program worked closely with journalism deans and faculty at the five participating schools to develop the fellowship concept and to select the inaugural cohort.

The HBCU Science Journalism Fellowship adds to a suite of efforts by the Knight Science Journalism Program to sustain and improve science journalism in the public interest, including its flagship academic-year fellowship for mid-career journalists, the Sharon Begley Science Reporting Fellowship for early-career journalists (a collaboration with the Boston-based publication STAT), and the Fellowship for Advancing Science Journalism in Africa and the Middle East.

The 2024-25 HBCU Science Journalism Fellowship class

Mykal Bailey is a sophomore at Howard University with reporting interests including environmental justice and agricultural science.

Jonathan Charles is a sophomore at Florida A&M University with reporting interests including environmental science and AI.

Christén Davis is a junior at North Carolina A&T State University with reporting interests including international economics and infectious disease.

Zoe Earle is a junior at Morgan State University with reporting interests including astronomy and zoology.

Jordyn Isaacs is a sophomore at Hampton University with reporting interests including AI and environmental justice.

Steven Matthews Jr. is a junior at North Carolina A&T State University with reporting interests including meteorology and natural disasters.

Sabrina McCrear is a junior at Howard University with reporting interests including women’s health and genetics.

Trinity Polk is a sophomore at Hampton University with reporting interests including climate change and public health.

Skylar Rowley is a junior at Florida A&M University with reporting interests including animal science and infant mortality.

Utrurah Whitley is a senior at Morgan State University with reporting interests including information technology.

The Knight Science Journalism Program, established at MIT in 1983, is the world’s leading science journalism fellowship program. More than 400 leading science journalists from six continents have graduated from the program, which offers a course of study at MIT, Harvard University, and other leading institutions in the Boston area, as well as specialized training workshops, seminars, and science-focused field trips for all attendees. KSJ also publishes an award-winning science magazine, Undark, and offers programming to journalists on topics ranging from science editing to fact-checking.

New Orleans, LA — Twin sisters Jordyn and Morgan Jackson, who are only 20-years old, have both graduated college early from Xavier University in Louisiana. Since they were little girls, the twins have always accomplished things together. At the age of 17, they graduated at the same time from North Houston Early College with both a high school diploma and an Associate degree. Most recently, they have also graduated college together as Jordyn earned her Bachelor of Science degree in Accounting and Morgan earned her Bachelor of Arts degree in Mass Communications. Jordyn’s childhood dream was to be a lawyer. But after doing some research, she decided to pursue a career in accounting instead. During that time, she also became a resident assistant, an INROADS scholar, an executive leadership council scholar, and a member of AICPA. She has also interned three times with PwC, a Big Four accounting firm. “I want to continue to increase the pipeline of Black CPAs because it’s less than 3%,” Jordyn told Black Enterprise. “That’s my why and my drive for doing what I do. I want to show young Black girls and boys that there are other career options out there. Accounting is a great profession.” “I chose the strategic communication route,” Morgan said. “In the future, I want to work with companies and brands to help them design and execute community engagement strategies that really enhance their brand appeal and make them resonate with marginalized audiences.” More than that, Jordyn and Morgan are both members of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc. Both of them received Dean’s list and honor society recognition. Now, the twin sisters are both embarking on a new journey as Jordyn is set to pursue her Master’s degree program in Accounting and Morgan is ready to start her Master’s degree in Journalism at the University of Missouri-Columbia.

about me

(selfie is at the bottom of this post)

Hi there! Welcome to my *professionally* crafted Final Portfolio for ENGL 1120. My name is Jordyn, my pronouns are she/her and I’m a 20-year-old Linguistics major at the University of New Mexico with a minor in Journalism, and my favorite color is yellow. In case you don’t know and would like to know, Linguistics is basically the science of language. I am bilingual (English and German), so I am very interested in language, sociolinguistics, and how they shape our societies. My minor in journalism comes from my love of writing, something I am still chasing and trying to feel fully again. I enjoy telling stories, and I feel as though telling real stories in their full truth is something our world needs very desperately right now. The past four years have both scared and inspired me to step up and get involved in what’s going on in the world, and I want to contribute to the change we need.

My hobbies in life are numerous, and I could probably say that everything is interesting to me. I tend to bounce around with interests a lot because I think it’s exciting and useful to know a little bit of everything. However, my main interests are listening to music, play video games, and I enjoy cooking/baking. My guilty pleasure is definitely online shopping, because there’s no dopamine rush quite like getting a package in the mailbox or at my front door. Pure euphoria, if you ask me. To expand on my hobbies and interests, here are some of my favorite things: My favorite band is The Neighbourhood (The NBHD). Their music is so amazing and I don’t think they have ever, or will ever, release a bad song. My favorite album from The NBHD is called Wiped Out!, I highly suggest you give it a listen if you like indie rock/pop. As for video games (By the way, I am a loyal PlayStation player, you won’t find any Xboxes here), I am currently playing through Persona 5 and replaying Horizon: Zero Dawn, which are both easily some of my favorite games. Both equally as headache inducing but super fun nonetheless. As for baking and cooking, the past year or so I have become really devoted to it, and it’s probably the hobby I do the most. Fun fact but kind of sad fact: I tend to get over-stimulated very easily, so sometimes it hard for me to do certain activities, but I have found that cooking dinner for my family or trying a new baking recipe has helped me stimulate my brain in a way that isn’t overwhelming. It has taught me to problem solve in a way that doesn’t spike my anxiety, and honestly, I am very thankful for it. My favorite recipes to make right now are my (in)famous vegan chocolate cake (my parents get triggered that there are no eggs in it) and my Mushroom Orzo dish (my parents actually like this one).

When it comes to writing, I actually really enjoy it. Creative writing, at least. It used to be a large hobby of mine, and I used to do it quite frequently. I have some writings of mine published sporadically around the internet actually (you will never find them so do not seek them out). However, as I’ve gotten older and as I’ve had to adapt to more academic writing styles, I think I lost my love for it in a way. There used to be something so magical about writing to me. Perhaps it was my way to escape for a while into some fictional reality I created, or maybe I felt at ease when I could translate my thoughts and feelings into words I could never verbally express correctly. However, in this class, I feel as though my love for writing resurfaced a bit, because I felt very interested and invested in my topics and found creative ways to write my writing assignments. One of my favorite things about writing is how certain usages of sentence structure and diction can suck the reader into another headspace, and doing so in academic writing ensures the reader will come out of it with all the information fully absorbed. For a while, that didn’t seem possible through academic writing, such as lengthy essays and presentations, but the past year or so I’ve begun to strengthen my academic writing. Strengthening my skills has helped me get closer and closer to my goal of achieving transformative writing.

The standout part of this course to me personally was our unit on propaganda. Obviously, I understood propaganda and what its intentions are beforehand, but doing my paper on the Jim Crow era in terms of propaganda opened my eyes to the fact that propaganda really is everywhere in our histories, societies, and everyday lives. I think the connotation of propaganda is always tied to war times, because the majority of propaganda discussed is from eras of war, and is never really discusses—at least in my school settings—other forms in depth. I even fell victim to thinking that way. But seeing the ways in which propaganda, which usually manipulates and traps its audiences, it’s kind of frightening that it had managed to wedge itself so tightly into our world. It definitely altered my world view doing this project, but it was also extremely insightful. But I will admit, it is rather scary to see how much of propaganda pertains to the -isms our society claims to be against. So much of propaganda is blatantly racist, sexist, and xenophobic, and while there are many cases where they are pointed out and criticized, there is a whole lot of other things that fly under the radar. Even with COVID this year, propaganda about the virus has antagonized China and people of Asian descent. Hate crimes rose significantly after this propaganda hit America really hard, and it angers me that we have allowed people to think that their racism is justified or okay.

🌹 the best advice you’ve ever had: it would have to be what my sister said to me once, it's something that has helped me a lot so i hope it can help you too. "your past, what you've done, what you regret. it doesn't define you, those things aren't who you are and they don't make you any less valuable" this definitely is not a direct quote, but it's close enough.

that was so fun! now to tag friends:) @stareyedplanet @interestedbystanderwrites @jillybeaner13 and anyone else who would like to do this!

Hey there everyone!

My name is jordyn and this is my blog (and first post). i've never had a real "journal" type blog, i've had fandom blogs, and things, in the past but nothing like i'm planning to do with this blog. i figured i'd start off by telling you a little bit about myself and little bit of what i plan on using this platform for.

So, as i said, my name is jordyn, i'm 19 and i'm from kentucky. i've been suffering from anxiety and depression for a big chunk of my life and recently, because of Covid-19 and being in quarantine, it has been a little intense for me. my anxiety has been the worst during this time after a few domino events that i might go into detail about down the road.

Because of my past i haven't had that great of coping mechanisms, again maybe down the road i'll go into further detail, but after hitting a low point in my current depressive episode i decided that i needed to write out what was going on in my head. in the past i wrote in notebooks but i never kept up with them, so i'm hoping this sticks.

i hope maybe this helps me and maybe helps/ inspires others to write to help them as well. my dms will always be open and eventually i will probably give my other socials.

i hope you have a good night/day.

remember you are loved.

Social media usage increases anxiety and isolation

The link between the social-media anxiety, usage, and loneliness has been talked about for many years, however a causal connection had actually never been shown. For the very first time, Penn research based upon experimental information connects Facebook, Snapchat, and Instagram use to decreased wellness. Psychologist Melissa G. Hunt released her findings in the December Journal of Social and Clinical Psychology. Few previous studies have actually attempted to show that social networks use harms users' wellness, and those that have either put individuals in impractical circumstances or were limited in scope, asking to entirely forego Facebook and counting on self-report data, for example, or carrying out the work in a laboratory in as little time as an hour. " We set out to do a far more extensive, extensive research study that was likewise more environmentally legitimate," states Hunt, associate director of scientific training in Penn's Psychology Department. To that end, the research study group, which consisted of current alumni Rachel Marx and Courtney Lipson and Penn senior Jordyn Young, created their experiment to consist of the three platforms most popular with a friend of undergrads and then gathered unbiased use data automatically tracked by iPhones for active apps, not those running the background. Each of 143 participants finished a survey to identify state of mind and well-being at the study's start, plus shared shots of their iPhone battery screens to use a week's worth of standard social-media data. Individuals were then randomly assigned to a control group, which had users keep their normal social-media behavior, or an experimental group that restricted time on Facebook, Snapchat, and Instagram to 10 minutes per platform each day. For the next 3 weeks, participants shared iPhone battery screenshots to provide the scientists weekly tallies for each person. With those data in hand, Hunt then looked at 7 outcome steps consisting of worry of losing out, isolation, anxiety, and anxiety. " Here's the bottom line," she states. "Using less social networks than you generally would results in significant decreases in both anxiety and solitude. These effects are especially noticable for folks who were more depressed when they entered into the research study." Hunt stresses that the findings do not recommend that 18- to 22-year-olds must stop utilizing social media entirely. In fact, she built the study as she did to keep away from what she thinks about a castle in the air. The work does, nevertheless, speak with the concept of limiting screen time on these apps. The link between the social-media use, depression, and loneliness has been talked about for years, however a causal connection had actually never been proven. "Using less social media than you normally would leads to significant reductions in both anxiety and loneliness. Hunt worries that the findings do not suggest that 18- to 22-year-olds need to stop utilizing social media entirely.
