I change how the world sees science.

Over 10 years of making science learning meaningful and actionable

Hi, I’m Raven. I’m a multi-award-winning molecular biologist, science communicator, culture commentator, and keynote speaker. I run my own platform as Dr. Raven the Science Maven, over 650,000 followers and tens of millions of views, where science gets to be joyful, rigorous, culturally fluent, and unforgettable. From producing rap music about viruses to clinician materials for complex chronic illness, or educating federal executives about how to best talk about vaccines to the public: I do it all, but I don’t do boring.

When brands and institutions want life, delight, and power in their science messaging, they call me and hire me as a partner or consultant. Write me.
