Star Trek fans will recognize Joe Menosky's [class of '79]
work. As a writer/co-producer for "Star Trek: The Next Generation," Menosky
included the number 47 in almost every episode
he wrote. After receiving his degree in zoology, he won an American Association
for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) Fellowship at National Public Radio.
His articles and reviews appeared in "The Washington Post," "Technology
Review," and "The Economist" before he left journalism to write for television.
"My favorite Pomona memories are of professors who made the pursuit of ideas
and images seem like the best possible things in the world." Menosky is
currently writing scripts for the new Trek series "Star Trek: Deep Space
Nine" and "Star Trek: Voyager."
