Minna Kane
The Science Explorer
Minna is an Associate Producer who has worked on the production of factual television shows both in the USA and UK. Over this time she has worked on shows for BBC, PBS NOVA, National Geographic, and Discovery.
With her background in science and science communication, Minna enjoys the challenge of translating complex information into accessible and entertaining information for all. She has worked on documentaries with strong narratives as well as heavy demo-based science shows.
Minna is a self-starter who is organised, very inquisitive, and confident working in development and on all aspects of production and post-production.
Minna and her team were set to task to build a huge vat of oobleck (cornstarch and water) for the NOVA science show, "Making Stuff: Smarter". You can find out more about the various demos and science activities Minna set up in a blog she wrote for NOVA.
