Simar Bajaj ’20, now in his senior year at Harvard, spent the summer as a journalist for STAT News, the Boston Globe’s health and medicine news site. He also earned a number of journalism awards, including Newcomer of the Year from both the Association of British Science Writers and the Medical Journalists Association and the Online News Association’s Student Journalism Award. These accolades were the result of pieces he contributed to The Guardian (three in total: one on pig-to-human heart transplants, another on a Massachusetts town banning cigarette sales and a third on a possible link between voting and better health), WIRED, The Washington Post and Slate, Bajaj explained.
