Dr. Katherine Tidman has never been the kind of scientist who hides behind a microscope. A Johns Hopkins PhD in Cell Signaling and Developmental Biology, she’s spent her career translating complex research into something living, breathing, and useful. Her sharp intellect meets fierce compassion—a combination that’s turned her into one of today’s most relatable science communicators.
When life threw her a curveball in the form of a Secondary Progressive Multiple Sclerosis diagnosis, Dr. Tidman didn’t retreat—she reinvented herself. Instead of simply following prescriptions, she went deep into the data, uncovering connections between nutrition, brain health, and focus. That passion evolved into her consulting work, where she helps patients transform confusion into clarity using evidence-based tools.
Her writing is infused with humor and humanity. She doesn’t just teach the science of ADHD in women—she lives its nuances and triumphs. Her book bridges worlds: research and real life, lab notes and late-night self-doubt.
As a mother, scientist, and advocate, Dr. Tidman celebrates neurodivergence not as a disorder but as a different kind of brilliance. Through her vibrant blend of wit, empathy, and expertise, she’s proving that knowledge isn’t intimidating—it’s empowering, and sometimes even fun.
