Meet the Shopkeep

My name is Shauna Otto, and I have a PhD in Biochemistry & Biophysics.

My first lab was my backyard in the PNW - I loved collecting plants, digging for fossils, and watching wildlife go about their yearly cycles.

For me, science is a way to connect more deeply to the beauty all around us. Let me share the magic with you!
