  • Patricia Janes

    Editor
    New York, NY

    I’ve been editing Science World for 25 years. As a former teacher with degrees in physics, math, and environmental communication, I can’t think of anything more important than educating the next generation about STEM topics. Thank you for joining the Science World team on this journey!
  • Sarah Taranto

    Art Director
    New York, NY

    As the Science World art director for 15 years, I love collaborating with our team to design exciting visual stories that help our readers engage with STEM. Pulling on my degree in journalism and more than 25 years of graphic design experience, I enjoy creating magazines that are as much fun to build as they are to read.
