Behind Every Discovery is a Scientist
Today, we’re celebrating the researchers, educators and science professionals who turn curiosity into discovery. Meet four GIANTmicrobes Brand Ambassadors working in science and the plushies that connect with what they do.
Melly - Biochemist and Science Communicator
Favorite: DNA
“DNA perfectly encapsulates the biological uniqueness in every person and organism on the planet. I think that’s both scientifically and philosophically meaningful.”
Emilia Angelillo - STEM educator
Favorite: Brain
“It helps me teach children that science is for every brain! Everyone can learn, explore and enjoy science, even though every brain learns and works differently.”
Aditi - a Tiny Researcher - Microbiology PhD Researcher
Favorites: E. coli & Staph
“As a microbiologist, seeing them brought to life as scientifically accurate plushies feels surreal and so much fun! They make microbiology tangible and memorable.”
Hamayl Afzal - Immunology & Regenerative Medicine Researcher
Favorite: White Lab Mouse
“Mice have contributed to countless scientific discoveries and medical breakthroughs. The Mouse plushie reminds me of their immense contribution to advancing medicine and the responsibility scientists have to conduct research ethically and with respect.”
