Biography:Sarah McAnulty
Sarah McAnulty is an American squid biologist and science communicator.[1] She is the founder of Skype a Scientist, a non-profit organization that connects scientists and teachers around the world for live video calls.
Education
McAnulty earned a bachelor's degree in marine science at Boston University in 2011.[2] McAnulty got her PhD from the Department of Molecular and Cell Biology at the University of Connecticut, graduating in 2019.[3] She studied immunology in cephalopods, focusing on Hawaiian bobtail squid.[4][5]
Career
McAnulty founded Skype a Scientist in 2017 as a way to increase both trust in scientists and science literacy.[6]
In 2019, McAnulty went on a road trip in the southeastern US, called the "Squids Across America Tour," where she spoke about cephalopods and science communication.[7][8] She has also led trips for Atlas Obscura in Hawaii.[9]
In April 2019, Sarah McAnulty led a video effort by a team of women who criticised Discovery's response to science through song.[10][11] Their response was a lip-synched music video set to Let Me Blow Ya Mind, and portrayed a diverse bunch of women doing science, demonstrating that science is for everyone.
After graduating from UConn, McAnulty became a Research Assistant Professor in the same department.[12] She is simultaneously continuing to run Skype a Scientist.
McAnulty published a squid coloring book in 2018.[13][14] She is an expert in cephalopods[12][3] and social media.[1]
