Science is for everyone.
Science is for everyone.
The scientific information we need to answer our questions–big and small–can often seem like its own secret code. It can be obfuscated by jargon, paywalls, heaps of prior research, flawed methods, bias, small sample sizes, reductive summaries, uninformed social media posts, and the list goes on.
As a scientist, one of the most important things I can do is help contextualize and communicate scientific information. My goal is to do so in ways that are accessible, useful, and interesting to everyone who wants to learn more.
While I'm not an expert in everything, I have become an expert in learning new things about biology after studying, researching, and working in fields related to cancer biology and genetics for 14 years. With endless support and encouragement from friends and colleagues, it means the world to me to begin to fulfil my dream of engaging your curiosity (and mine) through Fresh Brewed Science.
Stay curious and "axolotl" questions,
-Kelly

Host & Author
Because she likes altogether too many things, Kelly earned a bachelor of science in Biology and German Studies from BYU in 2011. After working as a research assistant/technician at Dana Farber Cancer Institute and Yale School of Medicine, Kelly still hadn't gotten her fill of science, and doubted she ever would. Kelly went on to complete a PhD in Biomedical Science with a concentration in Genetics and Developmental Biology at the University of Connecticut Health Center in 2022, during which time she composed more than a few science jingles and poems about lab mice.
Kelly lives in Connecticut, USA with her spouse Ken, canine companions Kelvin and Rosie, and an unknown number of houseplants and basement spiders. She is currently obtaining credentials to work as a patent agent, a specialty law role in which she hopes to use her training and talents to bring scientific innovations one step closer to helping people. When not science-ing, Kelly enjoys crafting of all sorts, identifying bugs and plants, and cooking experiments food for friends and family.
