Latest Update: Post-Summer Reunion
Melissa Parnagian, the current Chief Correspondent, is excited to pass the baton to Emma Kaeser '18 as she hands over the reins of Princeton's student-run research blog. This blog, a vibrant platform for showcasing and supporting student research, is entering its third year as a valuable resource for students navigating the academic year.
The blog post, written by Parnagian, not only showcases the research process at Princeton but also aims to demystify it, providing practical insights and strategies for students. It serves as a testament to the enriching summer adventures of its authors, who are now eager to tackle the new academic year with renewed vigour.
The blog encourages readers to subscribe, email the blog, and visit them at select research-related events around campus. Moreover, Emma Kaeser '18 and other bloggers will continue to share their reflections on the research process, offering a unique perspective on the academic journey.
One of the blog's key sections, "The Year in our blog News," chronicles the blog's evolution and impact over the years. The post for the 2016-2017 school year anticipates the raising of questions not typically expected by students, promising an engaging and thought-provoking academic year.
The blog also offers resources for researchers choosing summer programs, which can be found under the "Funding" category. For instance, the blog post archives include "Preparing Summer Research Internship Applications," providing valuable tips and advice for students seeking summer research opportunities.
In addition to its student-focused content, the blog also highlights scholarly achievements and facilitates communication among students and faculty. It often emphasises practical applications and current policy issues, making academic research more accessible and relevant to students.
Princeton’s School of Public and International Affairs (SPIA) "Research Record" series, a faculty-led initiative, provides a wealth of information about the blog's objectives and impact. This series offers examples of impactful research, encourages students to submit their projects for consideration, and provides real-world contexts and policy implications, helping students connect academic research with public affairs and practical impact.
In essence, the Princeton student-run blog, as evidenced by initiatives like the Research Record series, serves to document and promote student research, foster academic dialogue, and aid research skill development by connecting students with faculty expertise and policy-relevant topics during the academic year.
