She spent most of her career based in Berlin, Germany, but now lives in Ottawa where she is the CTV Chair in Digital Science Journalism at Carleton University. In addition to writing about the science of sweat, Sarah has won awards and accolades for her reporting on the dark history of chemical weapons, and using science to authenticate art.

Dr. Joanne O’Meara is a Professor in the Department of Physics at the University of Guelph. She has been teaching university-level physics for more than 20 years and doing public outreach for even longer. Her passion for teaching and learning has been recognized with many awards, including the Canadian Association of Physicists Medal for Excellence in Undergraduate Teaching, and a 3M National Teaching Fellowship award. She is an accomplished author, blogger and science communicator and the co-founder of Royal City Science, a non-profit dedicated to the pursuit of building a science centre in Guelph.
