S03E03 | Science + Art = Super Cool Scientists! Interview with Sara MacSorley

Art meets science = promoting women in science! Sara MacSorley of Wesleyan University is the creator of Super Cool Scientists, a Kickstarter project to create a coloring book featuring a diverse group of current women scientists. (Our own Liz Wayne is one of them!) We talk with Sara about what it means to support science as a non-scientist as well as community engagement and outreach through higher education. We are also excited about Hidden Figures and other media promoting histories of women in science -- Super Cool Scientists is about supporting current women in science and the coloring book medium is geared to both children and adults alike. We also talk about the personal trials of public promotion and supporting marginalized people in higher ed. What does it mean to address anxiety? How do we make safe spaces? How do we make our identities or allyship visible and effective? Sara takes us into her personal experience taking part in an It Gets Better campaign during her undergrad -- and that's how she met her wife! Support the Kickstarter! Get a chance to color in Liz!
