- said she......She is Valerie Bentivegna, a science and medical writer who studied bioengineering, bio nanotechnology and life sciences related to physics and cancer.  While working as a research scientist, she got to engineer tissue, gut tissue!  Always wanting to keep her options broad, Valerie now works in Seattle, Washington for a company that does design services for biotech, pharmaceutical, and global health companies.But that's not all!  Valerie loves to collaborate.    She organizes comedy open mics, providing a space for other comedians like herself to show their stuff.   She co-wrote an episode of Physics Girl on PBS.  Oh yeah, and she has worked with a friend, also a scientist, creating a book that highlights scientists and innovators in a fun and artistic way.   And as one who loves to take complicated words and make them understandable, it makes sense that she uses this skill to help educate about science, and make you laugh at the same time.
