Jules Bernstein, Senior Public Information Officer at the University of California, Riverside, is a science communicator who shares stories about insects, agriculture, and the hidden complexity of the natural world.

Insects are everywhere, shaping ecosystems, inspiring innovation, and sometimes crawling into our nightmares. But for Jules Bernstein, bugs are far more than background noise. They are a gateway to curiosity, discovery, and a deeper appreciation of how nature works.

In addition to covering scientific research at UC Riverside, she is also the creator and host of the podcast “Can I Bug You?”, where she explores the surprising ways insects intersect with our lives, sometimes fascinating, sometimes unsettling, but always illuminating.
