Ila Misra is a Staff Reporter for ‘The Science Survey.’ She values journalism's ability to be meaningfully entertaining, educational, and informing. She thinks that photojournalism is an excellent method to convey emotion to a piece and that pictures have tremendous power. Aside from journalism, Ila enjoys debating, reading, swimming, dancing, and is very passionate about international relations. At university, Ila would like to study applied data science, applied mathematics, law, and political science. Working as part of the newspaper helps her in her journey of learning what interests her the most to guide her future college studies and her future career. Although Ila doesn't know where her life will take her, she hopes that writing journalistic articles can help her to understand the most crucial parts of her identity, and in what ways they can manifest themselves in her journey going into adult life.
