This summer has been an incredible journey as I completed an <a href=\"https:\/\/dornsife.usc.edu\/wrigley\/education\/undergraduate-internships\/environmental-communications-internship\/\">environmental communications internship<\/a> with the Wrigley Institute. Under the mentorship of Megan Fieser, an inspiring Assistant Professor of Chemistry at USC Dornsife, I&#8217;ve gained invaluable experience and insights.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I&#8217;ve always been deeply passionate about the environment and climate change, with previous experience in the food waste and justice sectors. This summer, I blended my interests in communications and environmentalism, all while delving into a new area: plastic sustainability. The journey has been eye-opening, and I&#8217;ve learned so much about this crucial issue.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This summer, I immersed myself in a variety of exciting projects with the <a href=\"https:\/\/fieserlab.weebly.com\/\">Fieser Lab<\/a>, which seeks to find sustainable solutions for plastics at a molecular level. I designed:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A t-shirt and three flyers for the Fieser Lab&#8217;s tri-annual beach clean-ups<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Revamped conference poster templates for a more engaging look<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Graphics for Professor Fieser&#8217;s presentation on the Development of Catalytic Strategies for Advances in Polymer Sustainability<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A detailed graphic explaining what each recycling symbol means, the types of products they\u2019re typically in, and their recycling processes<\/span><\/li>\n<li>A <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> brochure for the Fieser Lab to pass out during beach clean-ups to raise public awareness and increase volunteer engagement<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<figure id=\"attachment_2934\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-2934\" style=\"width: 1024px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-2934 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/dornsife.usc.edu\/wrigley\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/116\/2024\/10\/ForBlogSymbols-1024x585.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"585\" srcset=\"https:\/\/dornsife.usc.edu\/wrigley\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/116\/2024\/10\/ForBlogSymbols-1024x585.png 1024w, https:\/\/dornsife.usc.edu\/wrigley\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/116\/2024\/10\/ForBlogSymbols-300x171.png 300w, https:\/\/dornsife.usc.edu\/wrigley\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/116\/2024\/10\/ForBlogSymbols-768x439.png 768w, https:\/\/dornsife.usc.edu\/wrigley\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/116\/2024\/10\/ForBlogSymbols-1536x877.png 1536w, https:\/\/dornsife.usc.edu\/wrigley\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/116\/2024\/10\/ForBlogSymbols-2048x1169.png 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-2934\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">As part of the Wrigley Institute Environmental Communications Internship, Shima Konishi-Gray designed a graphic for the Fieser Lab sharing useful information conveyed by plastic recycling symbols.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Lastly, my capstone project involved creating a video about public knowledge on plastic sustainability. I conducted an anonymous public survey, analyzed and organized the data, designed a flyer advertising the survey, and crafted a fact-checked script based on the findings. The survey included questions such as, \u201cWhat does the recycling symbol mean in the plastics industry?\u201d and \u201c<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What do you wish you knew about plastics and plastic pollution?\u201d<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We received 120 responses from a diverse pool of respondents in a short period of time. Participants from across the U.S. and international locations like India, Costa Rica, and Malaysia shared their thoughts. The respondents represented a wide range of ages and occupations, including librarians, engineers, artists, and more! <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">My goal for the video was to clarify misunderstandings that were revealed from the data. I touched on subjects including the history and meaning of the recycling symbol, how to spot greenwashing, and simple steps the viewer can take to make a positive impact. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I used the platform Premiere Rush to make the video and ClipChamp to create captions to make it accessible to all. The process involved making 5 separate drafts. The video included voiceovers, stock visuals, direct surveyor quotes presented by the Fieser Lab members, and engaging graphics that I created on Canva, all enhanced with music and sound effects.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">My internship this summer was incredibly enriching. I learned how to translate complex scientific concepts into accessible and digestible content for the general public, aiding research teams like the Fieser Lab in community outreach. I gained a deeper understanding of plastic sustainability and its environmental impact. Working mostly remotely, I sharpened my time management, collaboration, and communication skills with Professor Fieser, my fellow interns, and program directors Jessica Dutton and Kathryn Royster.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The creative freedom in my projects allowed me to embrace and bring my unique ideas to life in both fun and serious contexts. I improved my writing to be clearer, more concise, and more engaging, tailoring content to specific audiences and turning big concepts into actionable items. I learned to give constructive feedback on creative projects, thinking critically and outside the box to support my peers effectively. Additionally, I discovered the process of creating eye-catching video content for both social media and longer-term projects.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I&#8217;m extremely grateful to everyone who supported me throughout this internship. I\u2019m excited to apply what I\u2019ve learned in the future to different spaces. Moving forward, I hope to bridge the gap between complex ideas and accessible content, by breaking down information for for anyone to understand.
