Chat with Jennette Fulda (BS `03). Jennette talks about her early intro to journalism (5th grade newsletter), getting through journalisim requirement for IU degree, and on campus during September 11th watching the news. Jennette is also the author of Half-Assed: A Weight-loss Memoir and blogs regularly at PastaQueen (http://www.pastaqueen.com/ ). Her approach to the book was very much in the spirit of informatics: she took pictures of herself at eight different angles at different weights and put them in flash objects so she could show her progress (multiple pictures here. Try to get all of them to spin!).
