About the Scientists

Dr. Ana Gonzalez-Nayeck is an assistant professor of Environmental Science in the Natural Sciences Department at Baruch College, City University of New York. Her research involves understanding how the products of photosynthesis move through ecosystems, including in environments as far away as the surface of Mars and as close by as a reconstructed oyster habitat in the Hudson River.

Dr. Moiya McTier is an astrophysicist, folklorist, and author based in NYC. Since graduating from Harvard and Columbia, Dr. Moiya has given hundreds of talks around the world, helped design museum exhibits, and consulted with Disney. She shares her love of the universe through her podcast, Pale Blue Pod. Her sophomore book, Mothers of Invention: a History of Creativity from the Greek Muses, comes out this August!
