WHO I AM

A scientist who translates.

A young Kristyn — the original communicator at work.

Dr Kristyn Sommer today — translating science for the people who need it.
Now

Research only matters if the people who need it can actually use it.

I'm a developmental scientist who spends as much time on camera as I do in the lab. Most of what we know about how children learn never reaches the parents, educators, and clinicians making everyday decisions. So I built a second practice around translating peer-reviewed evidence into video, writing, and podcasts that meet people where they actually are. I mixed it into with lived experience as a young mother who actually gets it

That work now reaches millions across platforms. The science doesn't get watered down; it gets relocated. From journals into living rooms, classrooms, and group chats, where it can change what a parent says to a toddler at 7 p.m.
