Jenna Mastropolo, 2025 AIP FYI Science Policy News Intern

Biography

SPS Chapter: High Point University
My name is Jenna Mastropolo, and I am a recent graduate from High Point University with a major in chemistry and physics and minor in mathematics. I am from Hamilton, NJ, and excited to be returning to D.C. this summer, this time as the AIP FYI Science Policy News Intern! I have a passion for learning about the intersection of science and government and look forward to experiencing the communications side of science policy!Over the past four years, I have been a part of the High Point University SPS Chapter, the American Chemical Society, and Alpha Chi Sigma. At High Point, I served as an ambassador for the Culp Planetarium and Wanek School of Natural Sciences. I have also participated for the last three years in undergraduate research, where I explored the use of biomimetic patterned surfaces to combat bacterial biofilm growth. Outside of school, I enjoy reading, crocheting, and spending quality time with friends. I am so excited to meet and learn from everyone this summer!
