Dr. Kate Biberdorf Biography

Dr. Kate Biberdorf is a chemist and science entertainer and holds the position of Professor for the Public Understanding of Science at the University of Notre Dame. Notably, she founded the "Fun with Chemistry" program, which uses a theatrical and hands-on approach to make science engaging. This initiative successfully reaches over 20,000 students annually and includes memorable demonstrations like the Puking Pumpkin Tour at the USA Science and Engineering Festival and creating a thundercloud on the ground on TV shows. Through these dynamic presentations, she is reshaping the image of scientists and making science more approachable, particularly for students who might otherwise feel overwhelmed by the subject.

In addition to her educational outreach, she authored the "Kate the Chemist" children's book series published by Penguin Random House, featuring titles such as "Kate the Chemist: The Big Book of Experiments." She has also written "The Big Book of Experiments," "The Awesome Book of Edible Experiments for Kids," and "It's Elemental: The Hidden Chemistry in Everything." Her contributions to science communication have garnered her recognition from BuzzFeed as one of the world's top women scientists in 2018. Her work and commentary on science education have been profiled in prominent publications including the Washington Post, the Wall Street Journal, and The New York Times, and she has appeared on television programs like "The Today Show," "The Kelly Clarkson Show," and "Late Night with Stephen Colbert."

Currently hosting "Seeking A Scientist," a podcast that explores the intersection of science fiction and reality, Dr. Biberdorf remains a prominent figure in science media. She also continues her guest appearances on platforms such as Amy Poehler’s Smart Girls, engaging audiences with her educational science demonstrations. Residing in South Bend, Indiana, with her husband Josh and their pets, she is dedicated to inspiring and empowering young women in the field of science through her innovative approaches and public outreach.
