Struan Caughey
I am a computer science and physics BSc major in my fourth year at the university. I was a member of the Science Students Association in 2020 as the communications officer. When I was there one of my projects was to start the Moonshot publication which ran across that year. This was a small undergraduate focused quick read publication which lightly covered news and research in science. This year I have brought the processes developed from this and brought it across to UoA scientific.
