Penn(itentiary) State

April has been a rough month, with back-to-back academic papers, a crash course on statistics and research methodology (I can now perform a simple regression analysis along with other helpful functions), and writing/reporting for my favorite local Amsterdam newspaper.

Last week, the editor in chief entrusted me to interview a Pulitzer Prize-winning author and investigative reporter for The New Yorker. Unfortunately, his schedule and our weekly deadline could not agree, and I worked on another piece instead. It's been a great learning experience, copyediting features in the British style, whilst getting some clips under the belt.

The gig is not without its fun moments. Listen to this amusing clip from an interview I had with a local professor about a Dutch social engineering project (I was giving him my email address). I should send it to Penn State's admissions/recruiting office.
