Jamie Klein
The summer after the Institute I traveled to Zambia, Ethiopia and Burkina Faso for a science writing class. Along with two classmates and our professor, I had the chance to interview farmers in small villages (with a translator), government officials in big cities and food scientists in laboratories. The trip was amazing!
After returning to Nebraska for a week I was off again… this time for Arkansas. I interned on the state desk of the Democrat-Gazette where I covered the Albert Pike flood and the adventures of several small towns. I still miss Little Rock.
Last month I was back in Zambia to help with a conference for my internship. I’m now an intern for INTSORMIL (a research organization that focuses on global food security). I had a blast running into people I met in the summer. On the way home I stopped in France and Romania to visit cousins because... Well, why not?
Now that I’m back stateside, things have slowed down for me. Just one semester of classes separates me from the “real” world. I’m headed to St. Petersburg this summer for an internship and we’ll see what happens from there.
Thanks to everyone for writing!
