      Indianapolis, Indiana, United States I manage a team of brilliant scientists, editors, writers, and fact-checkers at the educational YouTube channel SciShow (7.3 million subscribers). We produce a video on science almost every day, requiring not just great editorial skills, but also organizational and interpersonal ones. I hire both staff and freelance contractors, lead meetings, and work with producers to bring our engaging scripts to life.
