Gabrielle Birchak is a science communicator, a podcast host, and an author who makes the history of STEM feel alive, inclusive, and relevant. As the creator and host of Math! Science! History!, she blends rigorous research with compelling stories to uncover the forgotten people and pivotal ideas that shaped science, and she shows how they still shape the innovations and debates of today. Her audience spans the globe, with listeners across North America, Europe, Asia, and Australia.

As the author of Hypatia: The Sum of Her Life, Birchak explores STEM’s past from ancient Mesopotamia to modern breakthroughs. Her writing celebrates often-overlooked contributors, especially women, people of color, and the LGBTQ+ community. She has been featured in the Mathematical Association of America blog, NASA/JPL’s Universe newspaper, and DC Metro Magazine. She has also edited nonfiction and fiction projects, including the sci-fi podcast and novel Paladin Corps: Book 1.

With degrees in mathematics and journalism, Birchak brings deep research, analytical precision, and a storyteller’s instinct to her work. She is a proud member of Sigma Alpha Pi, Alpha Sigma Lambda, Kappa Tau Alpha, and Phi Theta Kappa. She participates in scholarly organizations such as the Mathematical Association of America, the History of Science Society, the Association for Women in Mathematics, and the Association for Ancient Historians.

Whether communicating from behind the mic, digging deep in the archives, or speaking on stage, Birchak’s mission is the same: to connect the breakthroughs of the past with the questions and innovations shaping our world today.
