Psychology/BCN Alumni Career Spotlight: Alexis Dahl, Science Communicator

BCN alumna Alexis Dahl is a Michigan-based science writer and video producer on a mission to help people understand and marvel at the world around them. She's written or edited for the Smithsonian, PBS, Crash Course, and Study Hall, and previously led the editorial team at one of YouTube's biggest science channels: SciShow. In 2021, Alexis launched a new series on YouTube celebrating Michigan's science and history stories, which has since received nearly 3.5 million views.

Despite being a BCN major, Alexis somehow started her science writing journey in the U-M Aerospace Department, and got her first big science writing job through the Michigan Marching Band... and Tumblr. Unsurprisingly, she's now a big fan of applying the skills she learned at Michigan in unexpected ways.
