Katie Hafner is a journalist, author and current host of not one but two podcasts, Lost Women of Science and Our Mothers Ourselves. She speaks with program host Chris Meek about the focus of both of her podcasts. The first, Lost Women of Science, is a new narrative podcast that illuminates the lives of remarkable female scientists whose stories have been lost to history and have often been overshadowed by men. The show has focused on fascinating female scientists such as Dr. Dorothy Andersen, who developed the test to diagnose cystic fibrosis, and Klara Dan von Meumann who helped program the first computer in the 1940s which ultimately played a significant role in meteorology and weather forecasts. Katie will speak about these inspiring women and several others during her appearance on Next Steps Forward, as well discuss the concept of her other podcast which focuses on the children of resilient mothers. A champion of women who seeks to uplift the female gender in many of her initiatives and someone who seeks to bring forth stories of resilience into the spotlight, Katie will also give a preview of her newest book “The Boys.” Giving Katie’s interview a listen is a great way to observe Women’s History Month or celebrate women at any time!
