Sharlene’s Biography

Jane Rhee
Student at Stuyvesant High School

I am a high school senior interested in science journalism and education! After spending a few years doing research in a cell biology lab, I realized that what I really love doing is talking to people and teaching them about science. Through BioBus, I’ve been able to do that through art and videos.

Scientists

Francesca Anselmi

I’ve always loved thinkering! During my PhD, I learned how to build microscopes to investigate the mysteries of the brain: it was so much fun, just like playing with legos. That’s why I started the BioBus DIY microscope project: to share my passion for building with the future generation of scientists and engineers.
