This episode is a conversation between Natalia and Alex Ip, a fifth-year international student at Georgia Tech. Alex Ip was born in Hong Kong and founded The Xylom, an award-winning, student-run newsroom that covers issues like environmental justice, immigrants, and people of color in academia. In this episode, they talk about Chinese language (and its diversity), about Alex's experience as an international student in Atlanta, and how science reporting can be empowering to multilingual, multicultural communities outside the field.  Please follow The Xylom @thexylom on socials and go to their website TheXylom.com for more information on how to get involved and support their work.
