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.
