At each Skype a Scientist LIVE session, we host a scientist who briefly introduces who they are, what they do, and why they like it. Then we ask all of *your* questions! Each session lasts 45 minutes, are ASL interpreted, and are available afterward at youtube.com/SkypeAScientist.
Climbing Salamanders with Jonathan Huie October 22, 2026 at 1pm Eastern RSVP here! I am an organismal biologist interested in the morphological and behavioral adaptations that animals have to feed and move around their environment. I study a diverse range of animals, including tree-climbing salamanders, deep sea fishes, and animals with suction cups. Currently, I am a postdoctoral researcher at the University of California Irvine but received my PhD from the George Washington University in DC.
Radioactive Wolves to Soaring Condors with Dr. Cara Love November 12, 2026, 1pm Eastern RSVP here! My name is CaraLove and I study how human induced environmental change, such as contaminated landscapes, impact wildlife and human health. Anywhere from the remote hollows of Chernobyl to soaring cliffs with California Condors, this research takes me and these questions all over the globe.
Cosmic wonder with Dr. Moiya McTier December 3, 2026, 1pm Eastern RSVP here! Dr. Moiya McTier grew up in a log cabin in the woods of Pennsylvania without running water. Then she studied both astronomy and mythology at Harvard and got her PhD in astronomy at Columbia. Now she lives in New York and gets to write books and give talks about science full time. She's living the dream!
