DR MERRITT MOORE

When we say that Dr Merritt Moore’s career has crossed disciplines - it’s quite an understatement. When you watch this interview to learn why.

There have been many moments in Merritt’s life when she’s been told “that’s impossible!” but despite that, she’s managed to ignore the naysayers to become a doctor in quantum physics and a world-class ballerina… and all at the same time. In an age that often wants us to stay in our box, Merritt teaches us that that box can have many, opposing and contrasting sides!

During the lockdown of 2020, Merritt gained global acclaim by fusing her talent for movement with her programming skills. The Tiktok videos of her dancing with robots gained millions of views and earned her a world-wide audience. Watch her interview for the BBC here.

Graduating with Magna Cum Laude Honors in Physics from Harvard and has a PhD in Quantum Physics from Oxford, Merritt has performed with the Boston Ballet, Zurich Ballet, English National Ballet, and the Norwegian National Ballet, been awarded Forbes 30 under 30 and is an artist-in-residence at Harvard ArtLab. Merritt undertook rigorous training to be chosen as one of only 12 participants for the BBC TV program "Astronauts: Do you have what it takes?" and her dream is to be the first ballerina in space. 

She has spoken at countless events including Forbes Women's Summit in NY and featured in the best-selling book "Good Night Stories for Rebel Girls".  Most recently her TikTok videos, during lockdown, dancing with a robot have attracted millions of views. Watch here.

An audience with Merritt is an opportunity to feel empowered by your true self and really understand the power of being ‘interdisciplinary’.
