The Scirens — Gia Mora, Tamara Krinsky & Taryn O’Neill — formed our creative team based on a shared love of performing, storytelling and STEM (science, technology, engineering & math). We first came up with the idea for this show because our lives had gotten busier and our individual work was taking us to different places & spaces, making it harder to see one another IRL… so we decided to video chat every couple of weeks to see what STEM stories had caught our attention. We wanted to open the conversation up to all of you — it was time to launch a show!
But then COVID19 hit. And we realized that positive stories about science and technology are now more important than ever. It’s the perfect time to showcase the incredible work being done by scientists, doctors, biologists, engineers and more and to be inspired by STEM stories (plus, since we’re not going anywhere, we all need something to chat about during Zoom birthday parties and game nights, right???).
In this episode:
-Deep Sea Mining
-Pronouns & the Presidency
-Should we ban targeted advertising?

Gia, Tamara & Taryn
