Episode 30: Tamara Robertson - Superheros and Science Outreach

This week I talked to Tamara Robertson, chemical and biomolecular engineer, cosplay artist, maker, and Mythbuster. We talked about Tamara’s path from curious kid to engineer to costume design and science communication and outreach. Weaving together all her skills and experiences to a career combining engineering, live panels combining superheroes and science fiction with real life scientists, comic books, and outreach for science, technology and work in the trades. Along the way Tamara gave me a new way to look at how art and science are related.  Learn more about Tamara's work at her website with links to all of her work and projects.  Listen to Tamara's Podcast Tinkering Belles The Jessi Combs Foundation USA Science Fest Mentions in this episode: Char Wooden Maven Pat Lap The Catskill Mountain Maker Camp
