I am all about STEM and STEAM advocacy, so of course I jumped at the chance to be on the 2021 Comic-Con @ Home panel "Science in Your Fiction". The panel was asked about our work in STEM fields and then how comics and science fiction inspired us to get into our career paths. The 40 minute panel features: Ben Frable (marine biologist, Scripps Institution of Oceanography), Dr. Sunny Fugate (technical director for cyber warfare, Naval Information Warfare Center), Dr. Alyssa Griffin (postdoctoral fellow, Bodega Marine Laboratory, U.C. Davis), Dr. Lisa Zeigler (viral ecologist, J. Craig Venter Institute), Angela Zoumplis (extremophile explorer, Scripps Institute of Oceanography), and Chris Neuhahn (Emmy Award-winning animator, director, and writer).
Par for the course - I was the only one in costume/cosplay. Dr. Pamela Isley spent an evening embodying a Water Engineer.... I have no regrets about being the most obvious nerd in the virtual room.
