John WHITTEN Miller '76 STEM Speaker - Amanda Buckiewicz

Amanda's work has appeared on BBC Earth, Discovery Channel, Smithsonian and CBC Gem. She shared her path into science journalism – a field that turns scientific research into accessible stories for the public. Now a producer at CBC Radio’s Quirks & Quarks, she shared valuable advice: learn to embrace rejection, be ready to adapt and ask bold questions. One powerful takeaway? Reframe your thinking: “What if it goes wrong?” to “What if it all works out?”

Thank you to Amanda for encouraging our students to stay curious and keep exploring!
