Teaches at Caveat

Kate Downey is Caveat’s Creative Director. With a background in Shakespeare, Kate has directing and producing credits at New York City Opera, Cherry Lane, BAM and the Public Theater. After building renegade tours of the Metropolitan Museum of Art with Museum Hack, Kate fell in love with science and ran away with it.

Carly Hoogendyk is a Producer at Caveat. She’s also a creative marketer and comedian – but she loves trees above all else. She is thrilled to explore the intersection of learning and being entertained.

Shannon Palus is a science journalist whose work has appeared in Slate, Popular Science, The Atlantic, and many other places. She has a dog named Ada Lovelace.

Kate Villa is a comedy writer and stand up comedian. She has worked in some of the most fun places (The President Show, UCBComedy, Pig Apple) and her writing has been featured in some of the most fun publications (McSweeneys, The Belladonna, Cartuna, Hellogiggles). She is, objectively, the most fun.

Kyle Marian is a science communicator, former physical anthropologist, and dabbles in comedy. She works with Guerilla Science on top of producing The Symposium: Academic Stand-Up. A UK Bright Club Comedy alum, she is now on a mission to train up academics in stand-up & spread the smart funnies across the US.
