What a scientist looks like

Picture a scientist. Do you see the typical white lab coat, and a researcher trying to cure diseases? Who do you consider to be a scientist? Could it be a teacher? A girl scout leader? A comedienne? Our friend Ana Zambrana, says yes to all of the above. Whether talking to school children, or delivering monologues, Ana keeps those scientific principles in mind. Find out more about her outreach activities with Bardo Científico, or follow her antics on Twitter.

This meeting came about during a trip to Atlanta with both Ana and Parmvir attending a retreat for the ASBMB Science Outreach and Communications Committee, working to make scientists better communicators. We grabbed our drinks at The Hudson Grille.

We thank Teoría de Cuerdos for allowing us to use their live track for this recording. For those of you wondering, their name means: String Theory, a nice fit for an instrumental band that plays strings!
