She enjoys yoga, walking, and camping with her husband and two daughters. Marcie loves color, design, and all sorts of fonts.

Kelly has an MPH in Epidemiology and Biostatistics from Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health and a BS in Biology. She has over 10 years of experience conducting data analyses for publication in peer-reviewed science and medical journals and overseeing the operations of large-scale biomedical research studies. She also has a decade of formal and informal teaching experience including teaching middle school science, graduate level biostatistics, and tutoring in math. Kelly enjoys camping, gardening, listening to live music, and taking adventuresome trips with her husband and three children. She also loves puzzles and has never met a spreadsheet she didn’t like.

Jennifer graduated from the University of Delaware with a degree in International Relations. She has over 11 years of professional experience fundraising for civil liberties and health care non-profits.

Chelsea is a content writer who combines computer nerdery with science enthusiasm to create interesting stuff to read. She is a firm believer in ditching the textbooks and getting kids (and adults) learning with their hands and their laughter. She has a biology degree from Lewis & Clark College, taught 5^th and 7^th graders in a New Orleans science camp, has volunteered in numerous conservation projects (mostly in Africa), and dreams of seeing every David Attenborough documentary ever made. Learn biology without realizing it from her blog The Chelsea Scrolls.
