Each month, the Staff Member of the Month award is given to outstanding staff members who has shown a strong commitment to JYI and to the promotion of undergraduate scientific publication. This April, the award goes to Jess Kloss, a Feature and News Editor, and to Akshay Sharma, Associate Editor in the Biological Biomedical Sciences Division.

She has thoroughly enjoyed her time with JYI, where she came in as a complete novice to science journalism and worked her way to being Feature and News Editor. Because of her passion for making the most obscure branches of science accessible to a general audience, next year she hopes to continue doing science journalism.
