JulieAnn Villa has spent her career sharing her love of science, first as a research scientist, then as a teacher, and now as a health communication specialist. She started telling stories as part of her recovery from cancer. Whether is it in a classroom, advocating for patients, or speaking to clients, there is always a way and a reason to share a good story.
Bhaskar Sompalli was raised in the ancient Indian city of Trichy. He moved to the United States for graduate school and now lives and works in the bay area. He has narrated many of his personal essays on-air in San Francisco's KQED NPR station.
He is also a writer who believes that science fiction does not need to be all doom and gloom. His first utopian fiction novella, "Utopia Revisited 2050", co-written under the banner of Rakontopod, is out on Amazon's Kindle and has garnered great reviews.
Kasia Majewski is a science communicator, environmental biologist, herpetologist, entomologist and general lover of "ologies". Originally from Saskatoon, she has spent the last 6 years working and undertaking research in Vancouver, Japan, Wales, Malaysia, and most recently England, before returning to be with her family in Ottawa mid-pandemic. While she has many animal related stories from her time at Vancouver Aquarium, Science World, the JET Programme, and Manchester Museum, some of the ones that she recalls most fondly are from her masters research in Malaysian Borneo, where she studied the prey associated with Asian water monitor lizards.
