Jiwoo Shin

Hello everyone! My name is Jiwoo Shin and if any of you who attended this year’s MOTC art exhibition remember, I am the artist of the artwork with the astronaut and colourful neuron trees. (The background image of my photo!)

I enjoyed the IC Neuro Soc’s events very much this year so I am motivated to be a part of the society’s committee and ensure every new and continuing member of the society can gain meaningful experiences like I did. Being the founder of the Neuroscience Society and the leader of two other STEM societies throughout 4 years in high school, I have extensive experience leading academic events, building websites, and writing countless emails for reaching out to professors and submitting project proposals.

Through the organisation and communication skills I have gained through my leadership experiences, I will lead the IC Neuroscience Society as a co-president by:

• Organising more hands-on opportunities to explore neuroscience such as coding workshop or EEG workshop
• Making a platform for initiating neuroscience research projects by matching up members with similar research interests and creating an online communication space (e.g. Whatsapp, Notion workspace) for members to discuss potential research projects
• Organising research workshops: inviting neuroscience PhD students or researchers to advise research skills to our members
• Arranging collaboration events with other Imperial societies and societies from other colleges to expand networking opportunities.

Thank you so much for your time reading my manifesto and I would greatly appreciate every single vote from anyone!
