Infinity + Nuance with Kendra Krueger

Kendra Krueger (she/her) is an intersectional scientist, educator, creator, and woman of color on many edges—raised by artists, educated as an electrical engineer, and trained in anti-oppression facilitation, theater, mindfulness, and permaculture. Her work and research is a convergence of these many waters. Fueled by divine curiosity, she seeks to inspire deeper exploration of ourselves and our universe. Her pedagogy advocates that science can be a transformative tool for our external and internal world if analytical and intuitive skills can be combined. She founded 4LoveandScience in 2014 as a platform to teach transformative science at universities, in K12 schools, and in community spaces and gardens throughout the country. She has also curated and produced multi-media installations, exhibitions, and performances and currently works at CUNY's Advanced Science Research Center, where she founded The Community Sensor Lab as a space for DIY community science and advocacy.

In this episode, Kendra and Brandi talk about the intersections of Infinity + Nuance, including:

• Applying to others the same level of nuance and subtlety we afford to ourselves.
• What Kendra felt was missing in the “scientific paradigm.”
• How several mathematical constructs help her hold nuance and complexity.
• Following a "path of resonance” to determine our capacity to engage.
• What history, the ouroboros, & the solar system say about “spirals” of change.
• Learning to look at technology more generatively.
• What different “zones” of love and intimacy might be.
• And, Kendra’s work to bring science into the hands of more people.
