Jenn Dawson, Science Editor
Jenn Dawson’s audacious plan to change the world involves brain sciences, data and science communication, investigative journalism and community education. This plan stands alongside strong notes of ethics, justice, persistence and inclusion, with subtle hints of comedy, music and family.
With the help of her nontraditional journey through education, Dawson aims to use her future degrees in psychology and journalism to seek the truth and share what she learns. There’s no better way to get started doing just that than having the privilege of starting The Collegian‘s first-ever science desk.
On the rare occasion that project and assignment due dates are not imminent, Dawson likes to play Dungeons & Dragons and video games; forage and take photos in the mountains; enjoy Fort Collins; and play music.
Dawson’s other focuses are advocacy oriented, and she’s always on the lookout for the most effective ways to support the causes she cares for the most. She loves participating in local organizations and community projects.
Notably, Dawson is excited to work with the Northern Colorado Deliberative Journalism Project, a local media collaboration with a goal to reconsider the nature of journalism.
