Alix Spiegel has worked on NPR's Science Desk for 10 years covering psychology and human behavior, and has reported on everything from what it's like to kill another person, to the psychology behind our use of function words like "and", "I", and "so." She began her career in 1995 as one of the founding producers of the public radio program This American Life. While there, Spiegel produced her first psychology story, which ultimately led to her focus on human behavior. It was a piece called 81 Words, and it examined the history behind the removal of homosexuality from the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders.

Along with Alix Spiegel, Hanna Rosin co-hosts Invisibilia, a show from NPR about the unseen forces that control human behavior—our ideas, beliefs, assumptions, and thoughts. Invisibilia interweaves personal stories with the latest human behavior and brain science, in a way that ultimately makes you see your own life differently. The show was nominated for a Peabody Award in 2015. Rosin's stories have won a Gracie Award and a Jackson Hole Science Media Award. Excerpts of the show are featured on the NPR News programs Morning Edition and All Things Considered. The program is available as a podcast.

My name is Laolu Adeyo and I'm a senior at Purdue University. Here at WBAA, I am an Intern working on the design, development and marketing of the new student-focused WBAA mobile app. Working here has given me a huge challenge and also the opportunity to develop important practical skills in programming, design, and marketing which I believe will be very helpful to me in the future. More importantly, WBAA has given me a chance to oversee every aspect of this project from start to finish and actively encourages me to implement my ideas. In the future I would like to work with digital media and this experience has been a great step that direction!

I’m Sylvia, a Lafayette native currently attending the University of Missouri in Columbia, where I’m studying documentary journalism. I grew up listening to WBAA and as a journalist-in-training, I consistently listen to NPR both at home and at school. I’m thrilled to be interning this summer and learning the ropes of public radio — coordinating the weekly newsletter, working in audio post production, and more. Before working at WBAA, I was an on-air announcer for 4 years at WJEF, student-run radio from Jefferson High School, and currently KCOU, the radio branch of student-run media at Mizzou. Being an intern at a local news source has only reaffirmed my beliefs in the importance of journalism at all levels and I am truly excited to be a part of it! When I’m not engaged in journalistic pursuits, I work as a barista at Java Roaster and enjoy spending time outdoors with my friends, family, and my dog.
