Comings and Goings

Comings:

	Zhengzheng Zhang	Zhengzheng is a student hourly working with Jean Phillips and the Media Team. "Hello, my name is Zhengzheng Zhang and I am from China. Holding a Ph.D. degree in Physics, I am currently pursuing my professional M.A. degree in the School of Journalism and Mass Communication, UW-Madison, with an emphasis on science journalism/communication. Many people are curious why I choose to go to J-school after my Physics doctoral degree, and I often answer them that because I love both areas and wish to be a bridge between science and general public someday to help people better appreciate the beauty of science. So now I am putting my dream into practice--this summer I am working with Ms.Jean Phillips in the media team as a science writing intern, which I am sure would be a beneficial and interesting experience. "In my spare time, I love traveling and hiking, being close to nature. And I am also a passionate fan of music too--singing and dancing -- sometimes I use the software "CoolEdit" to record my own "song album," just for fun."
	Akira Wong	Akira is a student hourly working with Allen Huang. "I am a summer intern of Dr. Allen Huang. This fall I will be attending the University of Washington as a freshman studying computer engineering. At SSEC, I am working on some basic modeling projects in MATLAB and learning as much as I can in the meantime."
	Nate Miller	Nate is currently a Research Intern with SSEC working with Mark Kulie and will be changing to a Student Hourly effective 7/1/2013.
	Lee Welhouse	Lee is going from a Research Intern to an Academic Staff position in AMRC effective July 1, 2013. "I did both my undergraduate and Master's degree in Atmospheric Sciences here at the UW. I currently split my time between the Automatic Weather Station project as a Instrument technician and researching teleconnections in Antarctica."
	Jan Musial	Jan will be an Honorary Fellow with SSEC working with Andy Heidinger until August 15, 2013.
	Hsuan-Yun Pi	Hsuan is transferring from a Research Intern to an Academic Staff position working with the Media Team effective 7/1/2013. "I graduated from UW-Madison with a MS in Mass Communication and a MS in Curriculum and Instruction, with emphasis on visualizing science, educational technology, and visual and digital communication. I will continue working with the SSEC Media Team on the SSEC/CIMSS website design and content development as well as the Center's key publications including the bi-annual news magazine, Through the Atmosphere, and the latest edition of the SSEC promotional booklet and brochure. In my free time I love playing competitive badminton, hanging out with friends, exploring restaurants, and doing outdoor activities whenever weather permits."
