This physics professor's viral videos is helping to inspire women to pursue science.
Women account for only a quarter of U.S. graduates who earn bachelor's degrees in physics, according to the American Physical Society, a Maryland-based nonprofit organization. But Dr. Tatiana Erukhimova, a physics professor at Texas A&M University, is looking to change that with the help of social media.
"Watching Dr. Tatiana do the experiments online, especially since she was a female leader, was more inspiring for me to even go into physics," Dhanani said. "We collected midterm exams, final exams, final scores, final grade grades over 10 years. There was no consistent difference between a male and female performance on these exam scores. And I felt that this was a very important message for my students," Erukhimova said.
Up next for Erukhimova is the"Physics and Engineering Festival" at A&M in April, an event that draws in thousands of people to campus every year. This festival is open to everyone, and according to Erukhimova, you don't need to be a scientist to celebrate science, just like you don't need to be a musician to attend a music festival.
