  • About Us

Alex Ossola

Picture
Alex is a grad student in the Science, Health and Environmental Reporting Program (SHERP). Because she majored in Comparative Literature in undergrad at Hamilton College, she considers proficiency level in science to be "conversational" on a good day. When not ruminating on about science and trying to listen to podcasts over the shrill subway sounds, she loves to travel, do yoga, pretend to cook, and tell mostly pointless stories. If she could choose any superpower, she'd be telepathic.
