Dr. Julie Yu is a Senior Scientist at the Exploratorium, San Francisco. Kindling our interest in learning science in a fun and engaging way is one way to describe Dr. Yu’s mission at the museum and the Teacher Institute. And, she really makes you think as you will observe in our conversation where she ignited our curiosity with a simple “genie in the bottle” experiment.

Dr. Yu’s interest in science was ignited at a young age and she pursued her interest in science and got her undergraduate degree at Brown University. She then relocated to the San Francisco Bay Area to teach math and science to middle school children, which is when she got involved with the Exploratorium’s teaching institute. She went on to get a PhD in Chemical Engineering from University of California, Berkeley and joined the Exploratorium.

This conversation is part of Season 2 of our TV series on #WomeninSTEM and highlights the role of “hidden figures” in Silicon Valley.
