Maria Belen loves romance novels, chocolate and Diet Coke. Most importantly,  she loves science almost as much as she loves her chihuahua. When she's not spoiling her rescue pup she's in the lab lasering worms and watching their neurons regrow!

Zee likes to spend her time exploring the depths of tiny brains using expansion microscopy. When she isn't doing brain surgery she's out doing rocket science, probably. She is a firm believer in wearing colorful dresses to lab!
