Francheska López Rivera merges interests in biology and art toward a career in science communication. She has experience in visual science communication and 3D animation as part of Dr. Janet Iwasa’s Animation Lab and through a 3D animation course using Autodesk Maya, during which she produced the animation films displayed in the Animations section. Francheska’s additional interests include project management, teaching and outreach. She obtained her PhD in Biological and Biomedical Sciences from Harvard University, where she studied transcription factors that regulate chromatin organization using budding yeast in the laboratory of Dr. Fred Winston. She obtained a Bachelor of Environmental Design (architecture) and a second concentration in Integrative Biology from the University of Puerto Rico, Río Piedras Campus.
