I am a fish scientist and a writer who combines my passion for science, conservation, and writing. I have worked in the fields of marine biology where I studied fish in the ocean, as well as freshwater biology, studying fish in rivers and lakes. I work for FISHBIO, a small fisheries company as their Communications Director. I have traveled to exciting places such as the Mekong River basin in Southeast Asia as part of my work. -
I am a professor at the Georgia Institute of Technology, and work in the areas of robotics and computer vision.

I am a Brazilian geologist in graduate school at Auburn University, and I study craters formed by meteorite impacts.
When I’m not studying craters, I like riding horses, hiking, camping, listen to music and hanging out with my friends and family.

Paul Cobine is a Professor in the Department of Biological Sciences at Auburn University. He teaches General Microbiology. He is a microbiologist and biochemist who uses the microbes that we use for making bread (yeast) in the laboratory to understand the reasons humans get certain diseases. Paul grew up in Australia and moved with his family to the USA in 2002. He has a wife and five children aged 20, 18, 16, 13 and 9 years old and enjoys playing basketball and watching football.

Amanda Clark is a graduate student in the Department of Biological Sciences at Auburn University and an NSF graduate fellow. She uses molecular techniques to learn about ecology.
Amanda is also runs an ecology camp for kids in Alabama. In her free time Amanda enjoys hanging out with friends, crocheting and hiking.

I am a computer scientist, and a population geneticist – a computational geneticist in short. Simply put, I build computer programs to study the genetics of populations.
-
I am a plant biologist, and I study how plants live and survive by doing experiments in the lab. Right now, I am trying to find a cure for a disease that often affects the Citrus trees, which are very important in agriculture.
In my free time, I love to make origami items and I also enjoy traveling a lot and taking Zumba fitness classes after working in the lab. Currently, I am a researcher in plant biology and I work at the Molecular and Biology Institute from Rosario (IBR) in Argentina.
-
I am an eco-hydrologist which means that I study how ecosystems and their components interact with the water cycle. For example, I might measure sap flowing in a tree to estimate how much water it drinks during a day or year, which is easier said than done.
I love to be out in nature (and travel!) so I have lived and done fieldwork in pretty cool and diverse places of our planet, mostly in the tropics. Some of my time is also spent in the lab preparing or building equipment to deploy in the field and doing experiments, as well as in front of a computer analyzing a lot of data.

I am a scientist at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). My research involves using computer codes to understand both planetary atmospheres and climate change here on Earth. I also enjoy sharing science with students of all ages. I occasionally teach astronomy, and for the past several years I have mentored student projects for science fairs.
-
I am a biologist primarily interested in evolutionary ecology and organismal biology, and much of my research occurs out in nature. I like sharing my research with scientists through talks and papers, but also like sharing the research experience with the public (particularly K-12 students). Hence, I spend a fair bit of time in the classroom and bringing students out of the classroom and into the field. I also very much enjoy college-level teaching and mentoring of undergraduates in biology research.
