Dr. Ainissa Ramirez Brings Science to the People


Source: NPR.org
 
Dr. Ainissa Ramirez, PhD is a materials scientist. She is also a teacher who wants to make science easily understood. In a short video, Ramirez used ice cream to explain how different sizes of ice crystals in snow packs cause avalanches. She also solved the mystery of why melted and re-frozen ice cream doesn't taste good.
Ramirez is one of the teachers NPR is honoring in its "50 Great Teachers: A Celebration of Teaching" series. Acacia Squires wrote an enthralling and educational introduction to Dr. Ramirez and her work on the NPR website.
