Dr. Abby Olena, PhD, is a science communicator living in Carrboro, North Carolina. Until June 2016, Dr. Olena was a postdoctoral fellow in Science & Society at Duke University, where she focused on getting scientists the communication tools they need to share their work with non-scientists. Dr. Olena has a PhD in biological sciences from Vanderbilt University and has been the editorial intern at The Scientist and a AAAS Mass Media Fellow at the Chicago Tribune, where she faced head-on the challenges of communicating science to a general audience and learned a boatload.<\/p>\n
