Raven Baxter, Ph.D.

Molecular biologist. Science communicator. Keynote speaker.

Science belongs to everyone. I study the molecules running everyday life and how science gets communicated, and I bring both to millions of people on stages, on camera, and across platforms. Bring me in to speak, host, create content, or partner on a campaign, and your audience leaves feeling like the science is theirs.

What I Believe

Science is a process. And it should be protected.

Science isn't done until it's been shared.

There is a place for everyone in science.

I lead with delight

I'm a molecular biologist by training, a communicator by calling, and a builder by necessity. For ten years I've worked to make science feel like it belongs to everyone, and I've kept my own delight at the center of all of it. I also chair the Ethics Consortium at the Association of Science Communicators, where the field works out how science earns public trust.
