Meet a Biophysicist

Nidanie Henderson, PhD

On Tues, Feb 8, the Shattuck-St. Mary’s School students were privileged to have Dr. Nidanie Henderson, an assistant professor at Carleton College, as their dinner guest.  Dr. Henderson skillfully explained the details of her research in biophysics and then talked about the journey that led to her current career choices.

Here is what the BioScience students said about their dinner with Dr. Henderson:

“[Dr. Henderson] … explained some rather complex material in a simple yet sophisticated way that helped us better understand the material that she works with.  Her job sounds fascinating.”

“It was … surprising and interesting that [Dr. Henderson] was disappointed by the biochemistry major … she finally found what she really [wanted] and … she is now totally engaged in that field.”
