Aliyah Kovner

Aliyah Kovner is the host and producer of A Day in the Half-Life and a science writer/editor based in Northern California. Aliyah loves to share STEM through fresh and informative stories that highlight moments of awe-inducing discovery and breakthrough alongside the humorous, humbling and often equally informative moments of failure and accident.

Previous to her role at Berkeley Lab, she was a reporter at IFLScience with a wide-ranging beat, though she had a special focus on deciphering health and medicine studies. When not recording episodes from her closet, Aliyah is often exploring outside with her wayward dog or watching too much TV.
