Journalism

Currently Listening: Bonito (Jarabe de Palo), Ai Wo Bie Zou (Chang Chen-Yue)

I wish I was better at reporting things and telling stories. When I was at the Exploratorium yesterday

with Teresa, we followed Paul Salazar's stargazing tour (using his amazing green laser pointer oft used by astronomists). He spoke about the stars so eloquently and so passionately, it made me realize how lackluster my expertise is in various areas of my life.

Therefore, I've made it my goal to start writing in this bog in a more journalistic fashion. It is difficult to blog about real topics outside of my emotions/thoughts/goals. There are only so many posts that I can write about that are relevant to my goals and career before it gets tiresome.

Being more of a journalist will help me articulate what I know better and force me to research in more detail the things I would like to be an expert in. Maybe one day I can apply to write for Synapse, UCSF's newspaper!

I'll start with a list of things I'll have to force myself to write about:

• Health tech, Cloud computing (What is it? How are we leaning that direction?)
• Health tech, Economic impact (Does health tech save the healtchare industry money or is it just another bleed?)
• Various meteor showers each year (What are the best ones to watch? Where should you go? How to prepare?)
• Ultimate fris culture (Why can't it be a pro sport?)
• Rehabilitation engineering (What is it? Why is it important?)
• Eye cancer, an orphan disease (What types exist? How rare is it? Why does it occur?)
