Our Guest
Dr. Andre Isaacs is an associate professor of organic chemistry at the College of the Holy Cross. He is also a pretty incredible creator on Tik Tok, where he shows that scientists can have fun, and that educators can do some serious educating without being so serious. By creating a strong sense of community in his classroom and lab, Andre is training the next generation of students to be confident in their work, and comfortable with being their authentic selves.
