The Story Collider
True, personal stories about science
Join us on March 12!
Whether we wear white lab coats or haven’t seen a test tube since the 8th grade, science affects and changes us. Those influences and transformations are the stuff of stories and the life blood of the Story Collider. The famed NYC-based group is visiting San Diego, and, on this special evening, we invite you to come and hear local scientists and non-scientists alike share their personal stories of science’s impacts on their lives. Whether they seek out stars through telescopes, or peace of mind in doctors’ offices, every story is curiously human. Brought to you by the NSF/NASA Center for Chemical Evolution and the NSF Center for Aerosol Impacts on Climate and the Environment
Doors open at 7:00; stories begin at 7:30.

Susan D. Richardson
Susan D. Richardson is the Arthur Sease Williams Professor of Chemistry in the Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry at the University of South Carolina.
Ramanarayanan Krisnamurthy
Ramanarayanan Krishnamurthy received his B.Sc. in chemistry from Vivekananda College (University of Madras) in 1984 and M.Sc. in Chemistry (1986) from the Indian Institute of Technology, Bombay. He obtained his Ph.D. from The Ohio State University, Columbus in 1992 under the guidance of Professor David Hart. Captivated by a lecture given by Professor Albert Eschenmoser (OSU, 1990), he did his post-doctoral work at Swiss Federal Institute (ETH), Zürich, with Professor Eschenmoser.
Matt Hartings
Matt Hartings is a chemist who works at American University. When he's not being bossed around by chairs and deans and provosts, he's more than happy to be bossed around by his wife and three kids. Matt's research involves putting nanoparticles inside of polymers to make new stuff that does new kinds of things. He also loves food. And the science of food.
Kimberly Prather
Kimberly Prather s the founding Director of the Center for Aerosol Impacts on Climate and the Environment (CAICE), a National Science Foundation Center for Chemical Innovation. The Center focuses on developing a better understanding of how the chemistry of atmospheric aerosol particles influences their impacts on clouds, climate, and water resources.
Milo Shapiro
In 2000, Milo Shapiro left fifteen years in Information Technology to pursue his then-ten-year passion: applying improvisation to business practices and personal development.
