Facetime with Scientists

Booking Overview

An interview-driven science show focused on behind-the-scenes conversations with active researchers about their laboratory work, scientific process, and discoveries, typically featuring academic scientists and graduate researchers. A PR agency could credibly pitch university researchers, biologists, biomedical scientists, neuroscientists, and other subject-matter experts with accessible explanations of their work; booking difficulty is likely low because recent guests are primarily working researchers rather than highly prominent public figures.

She became an Engineer to make Art: A chat with MandyDraws

October 08, 2026

Art and engineering are more similar than you'd think. Exploring one improves your skills and accelerates innovations in the other! On this episode of the FaceTime With Scientists podcast, I interview Mandy (Amanda), a medical device engineer in orthodontics by day and an artist who draws on anatomy and engineering tools to make her art. Mandy describes learning 3D modeling and printing (Rhino, Blender, Fusion 360, SolidWorks), first to create art and then to do science! Her artworks draw...

Hunting Deep-Sea Symbioses with the Bald Biologist on the Alvin Sub

September 30, 2026

For Min Khant Han, a PhD student at the University of Georgia studying symbiosis, none of us are individuals. We are all living amalgamations of various organisms working together. Take our essential gut microbes, for example! But Min is particularly interested in symbioses—close, long-term biological interactions between two different species—that enable life in the most extreme environments, including the deep sea. He’s currently studying examples of symbiosis between methane-oxidizing bact...
