Science Communication Videos & Interviews

I have had the pleasure of working with a bunch of great groups and people in the science communication community. Here are few recent videos & interviews with groups I collaborated with.

Campaign To Put Barbara McClintock On $10 Bill - Interview - Insight With Beth Ruyak - Capital Radio News - September 21st 2015 - Sacramento

"Barbara McClintock made scientific discoveries that have changed human medicine and food production forever. Now, a group of students at the University of California, Davis, is pushing for this woman geneticist — the only solo woman recipient of the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine to date — as the U.S. Treasury Department’s choice when it decides the face of the new ten-dollar bill in fall 2015. Donald Gibson is the doctoral researcher at UC Davis who started the whole campaign. He joins us to explain his reasoning. " 10min 55 sec http://www.capradio.org/56636

Barbara on the Bill - Talking Biotech Podcast - Episode 017 - September 19th 2015 

"...We then turn to the idea of promoting artwork using a science podcast, and the important effort to get Dr. Barbara McClintock on the ten dollar bill, replacing some guy. We discuss the barriers to her participation in science, and describe why she would be such a fitting presence on our currency– not just because she was a woman, not just because she was a scientist, but because she broken down barriers." Begins at 31min 50 sec http://www.talkingbiotechpodcast.com/?p=156

U.S. Treasury Holds Public Forum On $10 Bill Redesign - All Things Considered - NPR - August 31st 2015

"The race is on for the next face on the $10 bill. And it will be a woman's face. That was promised by Treasury Secretary Jack Lew earlier this year. And today, the first town hall meeting on the subject was held in Seneca Falls, N.Y. Seneca Falls is said to be the birthplace of the women's rights movement back in 1848. Some of the current frontrunners for the new 10 are Harriet Tubman and Eleanor Roosevelt, but there are others contenders - Susan B. Anthony, Rosa Parks, and Juliette Gordon Low, who founded the Girl Scouts, is getting a social media push. At this point, you might be thinking to yourself, yes, all these are worthy candidates, but where are the geneticists? Well, don't worry. Don Gibson has your back." (Emphasis added) http://www.npr.org/2015/08/31/436377485/u-s-treasury-holds-public-forum-on-10-bill-redesign
