A Ph.D. Chemist, a punk rock guitar player, and a tick-tocer with millions of views… I know this sounds like the start of a joke (where they all walk in a bar), but this one person; one amazing person. Karen McFarlane Holman is all of these, plus she has a couple of Ted Talks too. We got to speak about one of my favorite topics - science, and the intersection of science with creativity.
