About Alice

Alice Vislova
I think that the gap between scientific research and the public is very vast, which, in my eyes, is unacceptable. Even when the scientists' findings occasionally reach the ears and eyes of regular citizens and policy makers, they’re often distorted or de-emphasized. I would ultimately like to play a role in adequately bridging this gap. After graduation, I am hoping to go to graduate school to study science writing, and from there go on to work for a popular magazine with a scientific inclination. My dream job would be to work for New York-based Seed Magazine. For now, I am working in an immunology laboratory studying the behavior of regulatory CD25+CD4 T cells.
