Kate the Chemist, of the University of Texas, is famous for breaking stereotypes and blowing stuff up\u2014all in a good pair of heels. Through her theatrical and hands-on approach to teaching, she breaks down the image of the stereotypical scientist, while reaching students that might otherwise be intimidated by science. Students\u2019 emotional responses, rather than rote memorization of facts, is key to Biberdorf \u2019s dynamic approach to her program, as well as science in general. Her exciting and engaging program leaves audiences with a positive, memorable impression of science \u2013 all while diminishing the stigma around women in science.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n
