Mike Lucibella is an all around science communicator.

He is a Media Relations Officer at University College London, working to connect academics with journalists to get the word out about the latest science and research.

For six years he was the editor of The Antarctic Sun, the official newspaper of the U.S. Antarctic Program. As the staff journalist, photographer and podcast producer for the program, he reported directly from the frozen continent on the broad range of research carried out at the bottom of the planet.

Passionate about science communication, he’s always looking for ways to bring the excitement of science and research to diverse new audiences. He’s spoken to school classrooms, comic book conventions, science cafes, “Nerd Nights,” scientific society meetings and has even been known to perform science standup comedy.

Before joining the USAP, Mike worked as the staff science writer for the American Physical Society, the largest physics society in the United States. He produced their newsletter, APS News, and worked with their outreach department to promote science and physics to the general public.

He holds a master’s degree in digital journalism and a bachelor’s in print journalism with minors in history, international relations and applied physics from American University.

An avid photographer, bike rider and hiker, you can often find him exploring the city of London, his home since 2020.
