We are two biologists with a passion for science communication and the natural sciences. Our goal is to make science-learning accessible to everyone by presenting important topics in biology in an entertaining and approachable format.
About Joris
Hello, my name is Joris and I am a fool with a scientific degree. I like writing about science, but I don’t like writing like a joyless robot. I love to talk about science even more, without sounding like a teacher or professor. Yet for now, writing it is.
In the eyes of the law, I am an adult. In the eyes of reality, an overgrown child. I do grow facial hair, but only in patches and I am able to speak formal, but get bored of it easily. Being 27 means I know how to conduct myself in a proper fashion, yet choose to be the weirdo I truly am. And I can still get away with (less and less though).
About Karen
Hi, my name is Karen and I am the plant lover amongst us three biologists. Needless to say, I have a lot of plants at home that get more attention than any non-plant lover would consider sane. In my opinion, no room in the house isn’t improved by adding some (or many!) plants to it. I love challenging myself by keeping high-maintenance plants and making them thrive. I have learned much about them and their ecology through this, which only adds to my appreciation.
Out of the three of us, I am the least inclined to be a science communicator (mainly because I am an introvert and a hopeless overthinker). I prefer working behind the scenes such as editing, filming/photgraphing and upholding our social media accounts. There won’t be many articles written by me and if so, possibly after much persuation.
