Wendy Bohon is a trained Shakespearean actress who briefly worked in Hollywood after college. She is also earthquake geologist who helps lead earthquake work for the California Geological Survey. And she's also a TikTok star. Since early 2024, Bohon has been helping lead the state’s earthquake preparedness efforts as branch chief of seismic hazards and earthquake engineering for the state’s geologic agency. She plays a unique role for California as someone who blends doctoral-level scientific acumen with skill in communication and drawing an audience. Some of this is evident in her TikTok account drwendyrocksit, where she has about 55,000 followers . “Scientifically, I do it because I think it’s important,” Bohon said. “Personally, I do it because it scratches that itch. And then I also do it because I’m really interested in the data and how we can use it to be better communicators and get more science to the people that are interested in it.” To read more, check out https://www.sacbee.com/news/politics-government/article314651388.html?utm_medium=social. ✍️: Graham Womack 📷️: Hector Amezcua
