Meet Marissa
Stem cell scientist, artist, and proud cat mom
I am excited to share my experiences, lessons, and stories as a scientist. My mission is for science to be viewed as impactful, approachable, inviting, and dare I say "cool".
I am also not going to let science off the hook. There is room for improvement in how we conduct science, communicate it, and compensate for work done in the name of it.
So let's wear our critical thinking hats, (I do love a good hat), explore these topics together, and have a little fun along the way!
Need a speaker?
Need a musician or comedian (or both)?
Music & Stand-Up Comedy
Young (relatively young), Up-and-Coming Musician & Comedian
Book for stand-up comedy, live music, or a combination of both. My music ranges from comedic, science-themed songs to more serious, story-driven original songs — so whether you want laughs, songs, or something more heartfelt, the set can be tailored to your event.
Previous stages and shows: Jokes Please!, Little Mountain Gallery's Stand-Up Showcase, Absolute Comedy (Ottawa), Yuk Yuks (Surrey), & of course Science, Stand-Up, & Song!
All material is clean.
