Sion Rogers
Sion Rogers (editorial intern for Spring 2005) added an international flavor to the DARTMOUTH MEDICINE office. Sion is from Wales and graduated with a major in biochemistry and genetics from the University of Nottingham in 2004. When he came to DMS Publications, he was fresh from a job with BBC (radio and TV) and eager to learn about print journalism and about working in an academic medicine environment.
Sion's many strengths helped build his skills as a science writer--his basic science background; his experience with broadcast journalism; his ability to translate science into lay terms; his curiosity; his enthusiasm; his willingness to take on any assignment or task; and his ability to get along with people.
After he completed the internship, he went back to work for the BBC in London. Then he did an internship with NATURAL HISTORY magazine in New York City. In 2007, he earned a master's degree from Columbia University's Graduate School of Journalism. He's now working as an executive associate at EASTWEST Public Relations in Singapore.
