Talk science to me, baby. (Science with sex appeal!)


Dr. Deborah Berebichez (aka “the Science Babe”) is working her buns off to make science fun and accessible. And by candidly demonstrating how science applies to every day of our lives, she hopes to empower our thinking and our decisions about the world around us.

Raised in a conservative community in Mexico City, Deborah was the first Mexican woman to complete a Ph.D in Physics at Stanford University. Her expertise on wave propagation in homogeneous media has led to great contributions in the field of telecommunications. And now, she’s inspiring others to fall in love with science by showing the world what a ball it is to know how stuff works. From the physics of high heels to the nanotechnology of fashion, this spitfire smartie is taking her male-dominated field by storm.

Tune in and you’ll hear why we love the good doctor. (And parents of girls…there are some special pointers for you.)

Dr. Deborah Berebichez is a Wall Street risk analyst with a Ph.D. in physics from Stanford University who guides the less scientifically inclined in their quest to understand the mechanics of their workday lives. On her Web series, The Science of Everyday Life, Berebichez breaks down the mysterious forces behind sound, microwaves and high heels. She continues to develop video, articles and public communications programs to bring science to all including her blog Daily Science.
