Mariana Kneppers

Science media producer, Chemistry World

I became enamoured with science communication during my undergraduate years presenting my research in wetlands ecology. I spent the next year working in coral restoration and outreach in the Seychelles and Haiti, eventually earning my MSc in Science Communication in London. After five years working in science television, I arrived at Chemistry World.

To me, there is nothing more rewarding than watching someone’s face light up in excitement over the intrinsic fascination of the scientific world. While my path thus far has taken a winding road, my goal remains the same: to inspire others to see the magic and the value of science. I aim to accomplish this as Science Media Producer by having thoughtful conversations and making science content accessible to everyone.
