Juan Venegas
Juan graduated as the best physics student in Spain in 2009. Struggling to choose between a Ph.D. in
computational physics at Edinburgh University and a Master’s in filmmaking, he did both. He then went off to win multiple awards in both fields and combined all his skills in data teaching, particularly in Data Storytelling. He is the perfect combination of knowledge, storytelling and lame jokes. Isn’t that Juanderful?
