169. She’s on a mission to inspire future STEM leaders & normalizing women in the shop environment

Guest:  Tamara Robertson - Biomolecular Engineer, Maker and co-host of MythBusters

Tonight’s guest, Tamara Robertson, may be best known for her roles as co-host and fabricator on the reboots of Mythbusters, but what you may not know is that she is also a Patent holding, OSHA Certified Chemical and Biomolecular Engineer with over a decade of experience as a Design Engineer working on Greenfield Startups, developing patentable technologies and helping companies reduce the waste they put into landfills.  

And if that weren’t impressive enough, Tamara was recognized as a Marvel Agent of G.I.R.L. in the Marvel Comic “Unstoppable Wasp” by writer Jeremy Whitley for being a real-life superhero for her contributions within Engineering as well as her work empowering and normalizing young girls in STEM through her Superhero Science outreach. Tamara is also a leading voice in the Maker Community working to normalize women in Shop Environments and empower them by teaching them to utilize tools to build the future they want for themselves and others.  She hosts a Maker Podcast called "Tinkering Belles" and a series called "Shop Science" where she helps to connect the dots between Artisanal Trades Skills and STEM Careers. 

I could go on and on about her and her accomplishments, but instead I’ll just say that I hope you’ll join us on YouTube and FaceBook tonight for an episode of With Her Two Hands you definitely don’t want to miss!
