STHS 199 | Elements

This course is a 0.25-unit activity credit where students produce content for and participate in the student-run science magazine Elements. Students become familiar with approaches to popular science writing and communication. They produce novel essays and other forms of content that both engage with current events and synthesize ideas from scholarship on science and technology. Weekly meetings are required to select topics; to discuss approaches to popular science communication and editorial best practices; to promote the development of writing skills and other types of artistic content; and to manage and produce the magazine Elements.
