Speakers
Kathryn Cowtan, Professor of Chemistry, University of York, UK
Kathryn is an interdisciplinary data scientist working at York Structural Biology Laboratory. She developed software for key steps in the solution of molecular structures from X-ray crystallography data and cryo-electron microscopy. In the last decade Kathryn has also become interested in data analysis problems in climate science. In addition to working with the UK Met Office and other organizations on historical observations and climate model outputs, she has also worked with psychologists and social scientists on understanding and responding to the motivated rejection of climate science. Recently Kathryn has developed a postgraduate taught programme in data science with major emphasis on reducing barriers to participation, especially in the areas of gender and neurodiversity.
