Rate My Professor Janic Gorman

Gorman earned a Master of Applied Science in Science Communication specializing in Natural History Filmmaking from the University of Otago between 2020 and 2021. This degree included the production of the documentary 'Trip Advisor: Drugs in Dunedin Pt.1 MDMA,' which drew from personal first-year student experiences to explore MDMA use in treating depression and premiered at science communication student film events in 2023, including the NZ International Science Festival. Another key project is the short film 'Winds of Change 2020,' produced in collaboration with Wen Qin Ng, documenting an international climate action leadership programme involving University of Otago participants. In 2023, Gorman received the Science Communication Award at the Genetics Otago Postgraduate Retreat, shared with Tim Hore, Donna Bond, Melanie Laird, and Victoria Sugrue. Gorman's Bachelor in Economics complements filmmaking with insights into production economics. These experiences in science communication and multimedia production align with contributions to educational technology at CEDI.
