Juna Kurihara (“Energy Saviour? Or Climate Disaster?”) is known as a rodent and leporid lover among her friends. Her interest in pursuing science illustration grew strongly during her undergraduate years, through her research on Pine moth in the zoology lab, and her work experience at the National Science Museum in Tokyo. After receiving her bachelor's degree in Agriculture from the University of Tokyo, she flew across the Pacific Ocean for her first education in art from the University of Rhode Island. Following her completion of the Science Illustration program, during the summer, she is working at the San Diego Supercomputer Center creating 3D animations.
