Meet SEJ member Alex Ip! Born and raised in Hong Kong, Alex is the Founder and Editor in Chief of The Xylom, a student-led newsroom exploring the communities influencing and shaped by science. He also recently led a team to translate the KSJ Science Editing Handbook into Chinese (Traditional and Simplified). Alex is pursuing a Master's degree in Science Writing from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology; he holds a bachelor’s degree in Environmental Engineering from Georgia Tech.
When asked how SEJ makes his job easier, Alex said, "Because of my unusual background, I entered environmental journalism with few connections. SEJ has provided a space for me to learn and collaborate with the best in the business. I feel less alone as I try to establish my foothold in the field and maximize my reporting impact."
