Math! Science! History!

Blog­ger and pod­cast­er Gabrielle Bir­chak strives to encour­age oth­ers in math and sci­ence while shar­ing the depth and breadth of her knowl­edge with the world. In a world where social media is steeped in objec­ti­fi­ca­tion and the search for val­i­da­tion, espe­cial­ly towards women, Bir­chak helps to pave a path for girls and women in STEM.

Bir­chak has devel­oped a brand with her blog and pod­cast Math! Sci­ence! His­to­ry!, where she shares her research on the broad scope of the his­to­ry of math and sci­ence from ear­ly Mesopotamia in 4000 BCE to the present day. With this plat­form, she incor­po­rates her love for math, sci­ence, and his­to­ry while pro­mot­ing women and peo­ple of col­or in STEM. Though her pri­ma­ry audi­ence is in the Unit­ed States, she has gar­nered lis­ten­ers from Asia, Cana­da, Israel, and Aus­tralia, to name a few. Through her blog, she com­bines her jour­nal­is­tic skills with her math back­ground to cre­ate qual­i­ty, in-depth, fac­tu­al pod­casts and blogs that are easy to under­stand, gar­ner engage­ment, and are enjoyable.

Birchak’s name appears in bylines for D.C. Metro mag­a­zine and NASA/JPL’s news­pa­per Uni­verse. As an edi­tor, her work includes K. Gainor’s sci­ence-fic­tion book and pod­cast Pal­adin Corps: Book 1.  Like a few indi­vid­u­als in the enter­tain­ment indus­try, Bir­chak stays busy in two worlds: sci­ence and math as well as enter­tain­ment. You can vis­it her at www.GabrielleBirchak.com and you can find her pod­cast on artists in sci­ence here. Through­out her life, she has per­formed as a stage actor, jazz singer, and come­di­an. In 2008, while work­ing as a come­di­an on the east coast cir­cuit and film­ing her show, Gab’s Blabs, she won the U.S. and Cana­da-wide Project Breakout’s Polit­i­cal Pun­dit Com­pe­ti­tion, which earned her the posi­tion of Field Reporter for the 2008 Demo­c­ra­t­ic Nation­al Con­ven­tion.

Bir­chak holds a Bach­e­lor of Jour­nal­ism degree from Cal­i­for­nia State Uni­ver­si­ty, North­ridge, and a Bach­e­lor of Math­e­mat­ics degree from South­ern New Hamp­shire Uni­ver­si­ty. Her love of aca­d­e­mics earned her mem­ber­ships with sev­er­al Greek soci­eties, includ­ing Sig­ma Alpha Pi, Alpha Sig­ma Lamb­da, Kap­pa Tau Alpha, and Phi Theta Kappa.

Always engaged with her tribe, Gabrielle is involved with sev­er­al orga­ni­za­tions, includ­ing the Amer­i­can Math­e­mat­i­cal Soci­ety, His­to­ry of Sci­ence Soci­ety, Asso­ci­a­tion for Women in Math, and Asso­ci­a­tion for Ancient Historians.

Gabrielle resides in Los Ange­les, where she spends count­less hours in many of the city’s 93 muse­ums. You can always find her on Twit­ter (@GabBirchak), Insta­gram (@GabrielleBirchak), Face­book (@MathScienceHistory), and YouTube (https://www.youtube.com/c/MathScienceHistory).
