The ever-adventurous science writer Steph Yin stopped by the "studio" last Wednesday (4/4) to talk about life as a cheerleader of all things science. We learned about living with Sea Gypsies on stilt houses, the importance and difficulty of evangelizing science, and eureka moments that can lead science lovers away from academia. She gave a big thank you to her parents (as we all should) and encouraged fellow science lovers to look into life as a science writer.
Follow her beautiful blog, Ink Chromatography, and check out some of the awesome science writers over at the Radio Lab podcast.
That's our girl above tagging sharks like a boss. All in a days work. Comments? Drop them. Without further ado, the totally awesome Steph Yin!

Favorite Animal: "Seahorses. Hands down. What other creature has the head of a horse, the body armor of an armadillo, the tail of a monkey, and the eyes of a reptile (they can move each eye independently of the other!)? Also, they have beautiful courtship dances, mate for life, and the males carry the babies! Plus each seahorse can be identified by a unique "crown" (the equivalent of a human fingerprint)"
