My name is Dr. Jessica Esquivel, my path to science involved speculative media, it was seeing Jodie Foster in Contact that got me pumped for STEM, now I use media in my ! Catch me representing Black In Physics this thursday in partership with Marvel Studios as we dig into the science of Ant-Man

Welp! Showing my age! Tried to do a big grid unveiling but failed miserably! But as a scientist, I'm used to failing, dusting myself off, and trying again! Anyways, I have been drinking my water and minding my business, head down, grinding! Come back 02/14 to hear the news and until then, I'll be re-introducing myself!

Beautiful campus, amazing people, well-received talk! I structured it to align more w/ my brain and got awesome feedback from participants stating that structure helped them stay more focused! Meant so much to me!

Princeton bound for ! See ya'll there!!

! Ringing it in at home cuddling w/ the beau and our furbabies! Love on your peeps!

We're seeing a decline in marginalized populations in . We must lean into the q***rness of our universe, discard binary thinking, and develop systems that are equitable. Let's rethink what it means to be a physicist and how we train the next generation of workforce.

It's here it's here! My TEDx TEDxWrigleyville talk finally dropped! Go watch it! https://youtu.be/4NGz3iclZq4

The Q***r Universe: "In our macroscopic world, binary categorizations and absolutes seem to be the norm, but if we tunnel down to the smallest, most elementary particles of our universe, we enter a world where chaos and q***rness reign supreme." -- Dr. Jessica Esquivel, Physicist

"Where does the quantum realm end and the classical world begin? Does such a boundary exist, or are we living in the quantum realm and don't even know it? And if visible matter, including all of us, are in a state of quantum superposition, we literally are non-binary! We then occupy all possible space, we are fluid, we are q***r." -- Dr. Jessica Esquivel, Physicist

Been waiting since August to share this TEDxWrigleyville talk! Check it out!

Whew! What a whirlwind! I completed what I'd call a pretty transformational experience filled with amazing and awe inspiring folks! was a once in a lifetime and the audience was so generous with their love! There were so many aunties in the audience that reminded me that I am my ancestors wildest dreams! I LOVE US AND HOW WE ROOT FOR US!

I'm in bed going through these photos recovering from what I hope is just a cold given to me by the devil himself (pretty sure it's covid) and reminiscing over all the GOATS 🐐 I met in such a short period of time! While I currently sound like gollum, it was totally worth it!

Keep an eye out for the drop!

Just missed the end of pride month but still had to share! I'm so so honored to be featured in GO Magazine 100 women we love 2022 list! Check out all the amazing features on the 2nd link! http://gomag.com/article/women-we-love-2022-jessica-esquivel/

T-MINUS 20 mins till I hit the stage and boy what a stage it is!! Mic'ed, nervous, but hella excited!! Can't wait to geek out about the quantum realm w/ ya'll!!!

Our trip to Versailles was amazing! Our tour guide had so much rich knowledge and it was fascinating! The next few posts will be dedicated to some STEAM facts we learned on the tour!

A lot of work goes into the next scientific discovery. We hear about the scientists, engineers, and technicians, but we rarely talk about the spouses, custodians, and administrative staff that make it possible for scientists to dedicate much of their life to the hunt for new knowledge!

.prescod.weinstein discussed the importance of recognizing ALL people who contribute to scientific exploration in her book The Disordered Cosmos and as I'm traveling for the Ada Lovelace conference and my wife Em took care of the planning, the booking, and the packing while I worked on multiple talks/projects, it's even more prevalent the amount she does so that I can do what I do. All my STEM folk I encourage you to pause and think about who around you allows you to focus on STEM and tell them you appreciate all the work they out in to scientific discoveries!

STEM is found in the most unlikeiest of places! are spearheading the restoration of, and scientific uncovery due to the Notre Dame fire. Click on the link in bio for more info on the amazing STEM work being done at Notre Dame!

Well when it rains it pours! Hours after we got on a flight to Paris our furnace decided to crap out leaving our furbabies and our friend in a frigid house! With the time difference we were scheduling a new heater install at 3am paris time on my birthday! Thankfully we worked w/ Patriot Heating and Cooling who came out that day, brought space heaters and took care of it in less than 24 hrs! Shoutout to my wife Em eho had the foresight to connect w/ our neighbor before heading out, Tiffany whose keeping our furbabies safe, and Bryan who jumped in last minute to be point person w/ hvac company on our behalf!


Now this morning we got all dolled up for a photo shoot by the Eiffel and The Lourve. 15 mins into the session, our bags got stolen and now I'm sitting in the lobby of a Parisian police station! Thankfully we had our valuables in our pockets, and our change of shoes (cause as cute as these kitten heels are they are not made for walking!) were found in a dumpster but man what a ride! At least I'm the most fashionable gal in the station, working these police station halls like a runway! 🤣🤣🤣

So so excited to be an invited speaker at the ada lovelace festival! One of the awesome parts of my job as a particle physicist and science communicator is that it takes me all over the world and I'm going to take ya'll along for the ride! I'll be updating IG with the awesome sights and STEM insights and dubbing this "Adventures with Ada!" Can't wait to show you days in the life of a physicist!
