Editing notes
  • Add categories, particularly "women in science" and whichever nationality category turns out to be appropriate. I'm sure there are more categories that would be appropriate. See if any of the following make sense: DONE
    • Women Physicists
    • Brandeis alumni
    • Stanford alumni
    • Living People
    • Science bloggers
    • people from Mexico City
    • Mexico skeptics? no specific Mexico skeptics category
    • TV personalities with Mexican origin
    • People who have given TEDx talks? nothing found
    • Any category involving BigThink talks? nothing found
    • living persons with unknown birth year
OK, I used HotCat for the first time to add/subtract categories. Just barely a labor-saving device – I expected a better way to browse the category hierarchy and discover suitable new categories.
  • Determine a source for nationality, right now infobox has ethnicity. Check whether switching to a different infobox style is appropriate. U.S. citizen?
  • It appears that "thesciencebabe.com" is being redirected to "sciencewithdebbie.com", so references and links should be updated to reflect preferred domain name. This seems to be the source of all of the warnings found by Checklinks.
  • Check her activity on Twitter, Facebook, Google+ other social media?
  • LinkedIn has been fruitful for filling in the timeline, but masters degree timeline seems a bit unclear. More to be mined there.
  • There may well be other video that could be added to the External video box. She does plenty of self-promotion, some of it may be useful.
  • Any more photos that can be used?
  • More biographical details would be helpful, such as birth year, birth place (more specific than Mexico City).
  • It would be good to get a better sense of balance between "working physicist" and "STEM popularizer" and other activities.
  • Properly done, the lead should not contain footnotes. The information should appear at appropriate points in the body of the article.
  • There may be some references or external links in the es.wikipedia that are not given here. Check to see if they are useful. PULLED
  • Columnize references. DONE
  • There is a REDIRECT here from "Science Babe". Check what else links to the page. DONE
  • Check out the Yvette d'Entremont (SciBabe) page for other ideas of what to look for and include. DONE
  • Figure out what "cellular wave transmission" in the lead is really talking about.
  • Being a member of the American Physical Society is not notable. Being a Fellow would be, but becoming a member is just a matter of signing up. But she has a "Careers" profile up on the APS website that's worth noting.
  • Too much of the current article depends on primary sources.
  • Fix CS1 errors in references. DONE
  • Check refs for possible authorlinks
  • Lots of missed opportunities in the article for wikilinks.
  • There is nothing in the body of the article that supports the "Skeptics" categorization. Try NECCS video. It appears she may have been a speaker at more than one conference.
  • Has there been criticism of the "babe" aspect of her chosen nickname (see SciBabe article)?
  • Any podcast appearances?
  • Tag Talk page for WikiProject Skepticism DONE
  • Replace {{Expand Spanish}} template with {{Translated page}} template DONE
  • Page info says fewer than 30 watchers DONE

DB is profiled at the American Physical Society site [but don't see "why" aside from unspoken "she's inspiring because she's a woman". Makes clear that her "day job" is not really physics although physics training was one of the several ways to become a Wall Street "quant".]
Not exactly clear what "The Balance" is. There are some biographical details in here that I haven't seen elsewhere: short stories, theatre.
There's very little in this source. Probably can't use it.
Establishes thesis advisors.
Nov 2015 (New job?) – Shows an emphasis on STEM outreach, with list of places she's been.
Mentions that she has been a professional model.
This brief abstract has no meat in it. Need to find original article in Wired.
The useful bit of this article is the links to other articles
Contains pointers to some more videos
watching this now; seems kinda generic, though
pretty extensive biographical background
Mentions that she speaks 6 languages fluently – would be nice to find a list
  • self-reported on LinkedIn:
Language Status
Spanish Native or bilingual proficiency
English Native or bilingual proficiency
Yiddish Limited working proficiency
Hebrew Native or bilingual proficiency
French Limited working proficiency
German Limited working proficiency
latest ref, pretty comprehensive
self-written bio - need to check that WP article is not plagiarizing
conference announcement - another possible source of copying - predates additions of sentences to WP article

Deborah Berebichez is a Mexican physicist, data scientist, TV host, educator and entrepreneur who dedicates her career to promoting education in science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) fields. She was the first Mexican woman to graduate with a Ph.D. in physics from Stanford University. She has developed models for cellular wave transmission which are in the process of being patented. Sometimes known as "The Science Babe", she appears in mainstream television and radio segments where she explains concepts in physics in everyday life.

Education edit

Old New
Deborah Berebichez first attended university in Mexico. She later transferred to Brandeis University and graduated with a double-major in physics and philosophy. For her senior honors thesis at Brandeis, Berebichez wrote about the concept of time in the work of the French existentialist philosopher Emmanuel Levinas.[1] She received her Ph.D. in physics from Stanford University in 2004 and completed her dissertation on the subject of waves and acoustic signals.[2][3]

Her dissertation concerned waves and acoustic signals.[2][3]

Career edit

Dr. Berebichez has written scholarly articles on the subject of altering the structural design of optical, mechanical and electrical systems in order to prevent signal transmission loss due to wave scattering.[4] She is a member of the American Physical Society.[3]

Berebichez is the Chief Data Scientist at Metis, a leading data science training provider. At Metis she leads the creation and growth of data science training opportunities, including bootcamps, corporate training, professional development, and online programs.[5] She is an active contributor to the national data science ecosystem through public speaking, presentations, and panels at data science conferences. Previously, she worked on Wall Street as an equity risk analyst for MSCI Barra.[3]

Since 2012, Berebichez has been featured in the television show "You Have Been Warned" (a.k.a. "Outrageous Acts of Science") on The Science Channel.[6][7] For her "Science Babe" web video project, she explains everyday scientific phenomena and principles of physics in plain language, such as "The Physics of High Heels".[8] She is a John C. Whitehead Fellow at the Foreign Policy Association, a winner of the Society of SHPE's STAR Award and a recipient for Top Latina Tech Blogger by the Association of Latinos in Social Media LATISM.

Volunteer Work edit

She was the 2013 Global Ambassador for the Technovation Challenge,[9][failed verification] an international educational competition sponsored by technology non-profit Iridescent[10] that promotes the programming of science-based mobile applications by girls and young women all across the globe, including creating a business model around the new application and instructing participants on how to pitch their applications to investors.[11][12][13]

Personal life edit

Deborah Berebichez is married to physicist Neer Asherie.[14]
