Deborah Illman's research and teaching at the University of Washington (UW) have focused on science communication and media coverage of science. Illman is former Associate Editor of Chemical & Engineering News, the official news publication of the American Chemical Society, where she covered topics in analytical, environmental, and industrial process chemistry in addition to anchoring chemical education. She has a doctorate in chemistry and experience with an NSF industry-university cooperative research center.

Karen Gran earned a doctorate in geology from the University of Washington, where she also studied science writing.

Marita Graube has a maste's degree in technical communication from the University of Washington and is founder of Seattle-based startup company Pixel Theory.

Kris Ludwig has a Ph.D. in oceanography from the University of Washington, where her research focused on the geology and chemistry of deep-sea hydrothermal vents.

Ben Raker is a Seattle-based writer and editor who studied science writing at the UW.

Amy Pletcher and Jen Schripsema have master's degrees in technical communication from the UW.
