Dr. Susan Berk

Sue loves science and kids, so she decided she'd combine her interests and write a science book for kids! She earned a B.S. in biology with a minor in chemistry, then went on to attain a D.D.S. from Marquette University. She spent a year in New York at a Veterans’ hospital in a residency program, after which time, practiced dentistry for ten years. She and her husband have three children, a lizard, and a dog!

When she's not researching the mysteries of science or immersed in fictional world-building and characters, you can find her walking with her dog Louie, practicing yoga, reading absolutely everything she can, gardening, swimming (when there’s a body of warm water!) and cooking. Cooking is chemistry, after all!

Sue makes sense of science on her science blog, where she posts about new tech developments, great books for kids, as well as tools and resources for STEM at home or in the classroom.
