📚 Jason Bittel '06 learned from his Senior Comprehensive Project to synthesize science and storytelling — leading him to become a contributor for National Geographic!

✍️ “It truly all began at Allegheny College,” Bittel says. “That freedom to try to write like the big-name authors I was reading at the time, combined with the realization that I could diverge from their paths with my own voice, would ultimately be absolutely critical to my journey of becoming a science writer."
