Matthew Akana

A Jack of All Trades, Matt Akana is a molecular biologist, game designer and improv comedy performer. Over the past year, he launched Evil Spares None, a Kickstarter funded game, and spoke about analytical improv at TEDxPheonixville and Nerd Nite Philly. That’s right: Science meets improv. When he isn’t busy making people laugh, teaching people how to laugh (with science!) and crowd funding amazing games, Akana is a scientist at a local pharmaceutical company, where he spends his days trying to find the cure for Alzheimer’s.
