This spring, Inside Iowa State received an opportunity to publish students' work from a science journalism course, JLMC 347. Assistant professor Dara Wald asked her students to pursue assignments in both the social sciences and physical or life sciences/engineering.
Included in this issue of Inside are two stories Wald selected from the latter category:
- "Algae: A possible source of biofuel for Iowa," by Kelsey Faivre, senior in agricultural and life sciences education
- "Skin-like technology helps detect fractures in bridges," by Megan Gilbert, junior in journalism and mass communication
