Science Educator and Podcast Host
About Rachel Martin
In 2021, Rachel Martin paused mid-recording when a listener emailed asking why rainbows don’t appear in infrared, and spent three weeks building a low-cost thermal camera rig with high-school students to test it. That experiment became the seed for 'The Visible Spectrum,' her award-winning podcast series that treats scientific literacy as a civic skill, not just academic knowledge. She doesn’t translate jargon into simpler words; she maps concepts onto lived experience, like using subway delays to explain entropy or grocery receipts to unpack carbon accounting. Her teaching materials are openly licensed and built around ‘curiosity thresholds’: moments where a question feels urgent enough to override skepticism. Rachel avoids lab-coat authority; her voice carries the slight reverb of basement studios and field recordings from urban gardens, wastewater plants, and amateur radio clubs. She’s collaborated with Indigenous knowledge-keepers on episodes about fire ecology and co-designed citizen-science protocols with community air-monitoring groups in Rust Belt cities, always foregrounding who gets to define what counts as evidence.
