Kate Biberdorf, Professor for the Public Understanding of Science, was recently featured by two media outlets for her work in scientific outreach.
Chemical & Engineering News wrote a profile entitled: “What’s next for Kate the Chemist?” (vol. 102, is. 34). Tracing her steps from her first professional position teaching at the University of Texas through her move to the University of Notre Dame, the article gives insight into her motivation and success in sharing science with the public.
Inside Higher Ed also highlighted Kate’s work in an article entitled: “Scientists Ramp Up Public Engagement to Combat Misinformation” (September 6, 2024). Focusing on her shift to full time public engagement, Kate touches on the importance of roles like hers, of selecting the right sponsors, and of ensuring that the next generation is trained to take the baton and continue making science accessible.
