Name | About me and my work | Zone name | Date |
---|---|---|---|
Avani Wildani | I program computer models of how the brain works | Hydrogen Zone | May 2015 |
Jeff Shi | I study the world’s bats, and how evolution has molded them into a group of superhero-like animals as spectacularly diverse as Batman’s gadgets. | Hydrogen Zone | May 2015 |
Kenzi Clark | I help keep General Mills food products free from harmful bacteria, so they are safe for you to eat! | Hydrogen Zone | May 2015 |
K. Lindsay Hunter | As a biological anthropologist, I study human bones and fossils to learn more about our past. I also look for new ways to keep monkeys and farmers from hurting one another. It’s like a cross between “Bones” and Jane Goodall! | Hydrogen Zone | May 2015 |
Zoe GetmanPickering | I study predatory insects, and the fear they cause. I also study how plants talk to each other through huge underground fungus networks. | Hydrogen Zone | May 2015 |
Andrew Maynard | AAAS Global Science Engagement 2016 | February 2016 | |

Paige Brown Jarreau | AAAS Global Science Engagement 2016 | February 2016 | |
Sean Murphy | AAAS Global Science Engagement 2016 | February 2016 | |
Jeff Shi | AAAS Global Science Engagement 2016 | February 2016 | |
Jonathan Jackson | I study the brains of old people as they think really hard and try to remember stuff. | Helium Zone | April 2016 |
Kellie Jaremko | I study pain and addiction in patients before/after they have surgery. | Helium Zone | April 2016 |
Kevin Baker | I study how your blood works to form clots (which eventually form scabs) when you get hurt (like falling off a bike). | Helium Zone | April 2016 |
Melissa Wilson Sayres | I use computers to understand sex chromosome evolution in humans and other species. | Helium Zone | April 2016 |
Stephanie Moon | I study how mosquito-borne viruses and genetic conditions change the way human cells function in response to stress | Helium Zone | April 2016 |
Alexander Taylor | I study how certain plants evolved the ability to recognize and partner with bacteria in the soil. | Soil Zone | April 2016 |
Ana Páez Garcia | I study how the plants build their root system to explore the soil and reach all the water and nutrients they need. | Soil Zone | April 2016 |
Clay Robinson | I am a soil scientist who is passionate about learning and about teaching others about the importance of soil, the foundation of all terrestrial ecosystems! | Soil Zone | April 2016 |
Keegan Cooke | I create electricity from mud, using bacteria! (and you can too!) | Soil Zone | April 2016 |
Mark Ritchie | I discover new ways that animals, plants, and soil microorganisms affect each other and how this knowledge can help transform how people live. | Soil Zone | April 2016 |
Candace Lewis | I scan brains, manipulate genes, and measure behavior all to figure out how it is that we are who we are! | Genomics Zone | March 2017 |
Jennifer Hintzsche | I write computer software to try and cure cancer! | Genomics Zone | March 2017 |
Matthew Bainbridge | I look at genetic data in sick kids and and try to figure out what’s going on. | Genomics Zone | March 2017 |
Sahra Uygun | I use biological data, information from >20,000 genes and try to make sense about gene regulation and function in the model plant | Genomics Zone | March 2017 |
Xueyuan Jiang | I study how genes acquire new function after they copied themselves millions years ago | Genomics Zone | March 2017 |
