About the author
Dr. Sarah Habibi is a molecular biologist, educator, and digital content creator and is the founder of the brand Science Bae. As a graduate of both doctoral studies and education studies (specific focus STEAM education), Sarah has become an expert at communicating science to audiences of all ages, with a specific focus on children.
The work Sarah has done with making science accessible online has been featured in a publication in the high-impact research journal, PLOS ONE; through media appearances on popular TV broadcasts like Breakfast Television; and through interviews with news outlets like the Toronto Star and Shondaland. Sarah is also an Award-Winning public speaker. The winner of the Three-Minute Thesis competition, she delivered a talk about her PhD research in a compelling and engaging way to an audience of non-experts.
Since then, Sarah has been hired to give talks to high school and university students on topics related to women in STEAM, Science literacy online, and the work she does on TikTok with making science experiments fun. Sarah has also worked with organizations like ComSciCon and Humber College to host virtual workshops on how to effectively communicate science on social media and the importance of learning science through hands-on experimentation.
Most recently, Sarah has worked with some of the biggest brands in North America, like Procter and Gamble, as the Spokesperson for the launch of a new Vicks product in Canada, as well as social media giants like TikTok to deliver professional development workshops geared to teaching at-home science experiments to client partners. As a result, Sarah is committed to sharing her love for science with people of all ages and showcasing the power of social media as a tool for advancing science education for the next generation.
