Louise Skokan is a sophomore double majoring in Biology & Environmental Science from Columbia Heights, Minn.. Louise uses They/He pronouns. They’ve been writing articles since their junior year of high school, where they started as a staff writer in the beginning and then became the opinion editor their senior year. They’ll continue to write for the Mess for all four years here. When they are not writing articles, you can find them making art through illustrations, taking naps, ballroom and K-pop dancing, playing video games, and generally being a nerd about science & the TCG. They hope to both work in a lab with DNA, microorganisms, and genetics and to be outside in a greenhouse protecting and conserving all types of flowers, plants, and pollinators like bats, insects, birds, bees, and rodents
