Ainissa Ramirez, PhD, loves science. When she was little, Ainissa got the idea of becoming a scientist from her favorite public television show "3-2-1 Contact." This put her on a path to get degrees in materials science from Brown and Stanford universities, and later work as a research scientist at Bell Labs and as a professor at Yale. Ainissa not only loves science, she loves to share science with others. She has written for Forbes, Time, Science, The Atlantic, American Scientist, and Scientific American. She’s explained science on CBS, CNN, NPR, and PBS. She also speaks on the topics of science and technology and gave a TED talk on the importance of STEM education. She is the author of several books, including the award-winning title “The Alchemy of Us” (MIT Press). Ainissa has a new picture book coming out in October 2025 that celebrates a hidden figure in science, "SPARK: Jim West's Electrifying Adventures in Creating the Microphone" (Candlewick Press).
