Flora Lichtman has produced science media for 20 years across many formats. She got her start at Science Friday. She worked as a video producer for The New York Times, co-creating an Emmy-nominated film series that dramatized scientific discoveries using… paper puppets. She was nominated for an Emmy for her writing on Bill Nye’s Netflix show Bill Nye Saves the World. In her previous role as Hypothesis Fund Managing Editor, she told the stories of world-class scientists pursuing bold new ideas in a new storytelling initiative, The Leap.

Making science accessible, relatable, and human has been a focus of Flora’s career. Some of her inspiration comes from her own experience in science: Long, long ago, she worked at a NATO oceanographic lab in Italy.
