Katie Mack is an astrophysics research fellow at the University of Melbourne focusing on dark matter.[1] She maintains a strong science outreach presence on social and traditional media. Mack's Twitter account is one of the most-followed accounts by professional astronomers worldwide;[2][3] her "smackdown" of a mansplaining climate change denier on Twitter achieved mainstream coverage.[4] She is the 2017 lecturer for Women in Physics[5] under the aegis of the Australian Institute of Physics, in which capacity she gives talks at schools and universities across Australia.
