Dr. Kristin Bennett was interviewed by Thomas Danahy, a student at Belmont Hill School in Belmont, Massachusetts.

“Kristin’s career could be considered an original ascent of life, just as she has done on mountains in the Himalayas. Her path through all branches of science, owning her own company, the K2 bottleneck, and the top of the world itself demonstrates how Kristin values doing what she loves and following her heart.”

Dr Kristin Bennett (Mechanical Engineering, 1988-89) came to King’s as an undergraduate exchange student. Since then, she’s fired neutrons at everything from starfish to a Neolithic copper axe, managed a $400million federal research budget, set up her own multi-million-dollar business and summited some of the highest mountains in the world. All while being inspired by her heroine, Dr Rosalind Franklin – the scientist who helped discover the helical structure of DNA at King’s.
