Carmen Crutchfield (she/her)

Carmen Crutchfield grew up by the lake in Saint Paul, Minnesota before moving to Montréal, Canada to pursue a B.S. in biochemistry at McGill University. Her laboratory experience ranges from studying chimeric mice to evolutionary ecology with a focus on cross-feeding bacteria. Carmen marvels at the second law of thermodynamics and how a system as complex as life emerged in a constant battle against disorder. Through her roles at science museums across the Minneapolis-Saint Paul area, Carmen has honed her skills in science communication. Carmen is dedicated to bridging the gap between scientific knowledge and public understanding.
