Dalhousie University chemistry and physics professor Mary Anne White likes to talk. She's good at it. She's good at materials science too — renowned in fact. And when White combines the two — science and public discourse — she is as fascinating to the non-specialist as she is to those with a science background. White has been a guest scientist on CBC radio's Quirks and Quarks more than a dozen times, fielding eclectic queries from listeners. She is a regular on CBC's Maritime Noon radio, entertaining idiosyncratic questions from science-curious Maritimers. And last fall, White schooled CBC radio host Michael Enright in materials science — the study of how the properties of chemical substances influence their function — on The Sunday Edition.
