Joanne Manaster is a cell and molecular biology lecturer at the University of Illinois. She taught histology, cell biology, and tissue engineering laboratories to biology and bioengineering students for nearly 20 years. Now, she is executing online courses on the human genome and bioinformatics for current and future science teachers. Joanne keeps herself busy with outreach through videos she creates, encouraging everyone to read a popular science book now and again. Other videos are a gentle and whimsical introduction to the world of science disguised in everyday items such as cats, make-up, gummy bears, and cookies. When not teaching classes or making videos, she can be found explaining topics of interest to members of the community, running a girls bioengineering camp, helping with the iGEM synthetic biology team, and doing everything she can to ensure that her four children all become passionate about something, even if it isn’t science. Good news, though, science is winning!
