Nina Grant, YVoS Alumni from the Spring 2026 session, recently won an award for her outreach project science communication video, titled “Can Volcanoes Save Coffee & Chocolate from Climate Change?”.
In her words, “Most recently, I completed the Young Voices of Science science communication training program, where scientists learn to translate their research for general audiences through structured workshops and coaching. As my capstone, I produced a short film explaining my doctoral research on geoengineering and tropical crop impacts in plain language — no jargon, no assumed background. I entered the film in the Sigma Xi Student Research Showcase 2026, an annual national competition recognizing graduate student research across all disciplines, and won first place in the graduate division.”
Congratulations, Nina!
