Science has always been Paula Apsell’s passion. And as the former Executive Producer of the science show Nova, she learned that telling the stories of scientists and their work changes the way that people think about the world. Apsell was on the campus of the University of Tennessee for a teaching residency and she sat down with WUOT's Chrissy Keuper to talk about her work in science journalism and about how science can change people’s lives...

Chrissy served as WUOT's News Director and host of monthly public affairs talk show Dialogue from late 2021 to early 2023. Her first job with the station was as weekend student announcer while earning her bachelor's in Anthropology from the University of Tennessee. She had previously been the station's local host for NPR's Morning Edition and All Things Considered news programs; occasionally filled in as host for WUOT's Morning and Afternoon Concerts; and won multiple awards for her interviews, feature stories, and Dialogue.
