When you have too many certainties, you stop asking questions | Wendy Queen

  • Summary

  • Wendy Queen, tenure track assistant professor of chemistry, tells us about her childhood in the countryside of South Carolina, about the teacher who challenged her certainties by steering her towards the sciences, and about how knowledge and science have the power to change the world. She explains how getting things wrong is essential for scientific progress, the work required for scientists to connect with the public, and why she believes becoming a chemist rather than a professional baseball player was the right choice.
