Kate the Chemist - Don't Tell Science, Do Science

You can't just tell someone science to teach it, the audience has to share in an experience. Kate the Chemist explains. From NBC Nightly News to the Late Show with Stephen Colbert, Kate has been a fixture on the talk circuit of late, blowing things up whenever she gets the chance. But her secret is not in the pyrotechnics. As a professor at the University of Texas at Austin, Kate Biberdorf uses her high energy and a keen awareness of how people learn as tools to engage students with complex subjects. During a recent visit to NSF, Biberdorf shared insights into her success bringing chemistry to a global audience.
