ABOUT JULIA KREGENOW, PHDJulia Kregenow is an astronomer, educator, and author of astronomy books ranging from college textbooks to baby books. She loves sharing science and math with the world by bringing the wonder of the universe down to Earth for all ages. With a background in physics, biology, math, and music, Julia earned her MA and PhD in Astrophysics from the University of California at Berkeley. She is now an Associate Teaching Professor of Astronomy and Astrophysics at Penn State University, where she works to improve how science is taught to non-scientists.
Lauded for her enthusiastic and engaging teaching and speaking style, Julia has presented numerous workshops and seminars about teaching interactively, increasing teaching effectiveness, connecting with your audience, motivating students, and using research-based teaching methods to increase student learning. She also frequently gives astronomy and science outreach and informal education presentations to community groups of all ages, ranging from preschoolers to retirees. Whether it is pacing out a scale model of the solar system, or having the audience act out what causes the phases of the moon by holding up styrofoam balls and turning around in place, Julia’s presentations are always interactive and multi-sensory — full of animations, simulations, demos, audience participation, and even music.
