Dr. Kathryn Clark

Kathryn Clark has one professional objective: “To entertain people and sneak education in when they’re not looking.” Clark has been meeting her objective for more than a decade. Prior to starting her own science and education-consulting firm, Docere, LLC she was NASA’s Chief Scientist for the International Science Program and NASA’s Chief Scientist for the Human Exploration & Development of Space Enterprise. Dr. Clark is currently the president of Docere, a limited liability company that specializes in science and education. The science arm of the company partners with the Jean-Michel Cousteau Ocean Futures Society, the Argos Foundation, the National Marine Sanctuaries, and the Sea World’s Hubb Institute to enhance research of oceans and marine wildlife and the use of the data for education and awareness of the environment of the seas.

The second arm of Docere is an education company dedicated to helping teachers engage students through the Internet and exciting educational tools. Partners in education include The Convergence Education Foundation and SAS Games, Inc.  Clark also serves on the Board of Trustees of Western Reserve Academy and on the Board of Directors of Orion’s Quest, an education oriented not-for-profit organization that provides opportunities for high school students to take part in real space flight experiments. Dr. Clark’s emphasis is on “Human Factor”; all the elements necessary for health, safety, and efficiency of crews involved in long duration space flight. Her scientific interests are focused on neuromuscular development and adaptation to altered environments such as space or Earth’s oceans. She serves on the NASA Return to Flight Task Group, a select external advisory body established after the tragic Columbia accident to improve safety for our astronauts.
