Sandra Tsing Loh Biography
Sandra Tsing Loh is a celebrated author, humorist, and public school advocate, known for her engaging and humorous explorations of contemporary issues. She is the author of the best-selling book "The Madwoman in the Volvo: My Year of Raging Hormones," which was named a New York Times Notable Book and has been adapted into a successful stage production, premiering at South Coast Repertory and staged at the Pasadena Playhouse and Berkeley Repertory Theatre. Loh continues to impact the theater scene with her distinct voice and captivating solo performances which have graced venues like Second Stage Theatre off-Broadway, The Geffen Playhouse, The Kennedy Center, and Actors Theatre of Louisville, with shows including "Aliens in America," "Sugar Plum Fairy," and "The Bitch Is Back."
In addition to her literary achievements, Loh is a prominent voice in media, contributing regularly to NPR’s “Morning Edition,” and Public Radio International’s “This American Life” and “Marketplace.” She also hosts and produces "The Loh Down on Science," a daily radio minute that disseminates scientific knowledge in an accessible and entertaining manner, reaching over 4 million listeners each week through KPCC and over 150 public radio stations nationwide.
Her academic role is equally significant; Loh teaches solo performance storytelling and science communication as an adjunct professor at the University of California, Irvine, in the departments of drama and science communication. This role underscores her dedication to education, both in public schools and academic settings, reflecting her ongoing commitment to quality education for all. Her book "Mother on Fire" is inspired by her advocacy and experiences within the Los Angeles public education system, emphasizing her dedication to this cause.
Loh's work resonates widely, thanks to her ability to blend candid humor with serious topics, ranging from family dynamics to personal and societal challenges. Her approach not only entertains but also enlightens, making her a sought-after speaker and influencer across various platforms. Whether through her writing, performances, or lectures, Sandra Tsing Loh continues to offer insightful and relatable content that spans a spectrum of audiences and interests.

Sandra Tsing Loh Speaking Topics
Almost 50 years since man landed on the moon, almost half of America still believes in Creationism. This part of the population’s opinion on climate change varies, depending on how well or poorly the economy is doing. Our iPhones harness computing power that used to launch rockets, and we use this technology to find the nearest Cheesecake Factory. Raising American scientific literacy is key, not just for the advancement of science, but for Earth’s future—solutions to our global problems will be not just technological but human. As Neil DeGrasse Tyson’s two million Twitter followers suggest, 21st Century scientists are capable of being both technical experts and effective communicators.
U.S. science education is in crisis. We rank 28 out of the 34 leading countries in math and science. Our failure to improve STEM education has resulted in 3 million open jobs and 8% unemployment. Girls and minorities are underrepresented. Vague government hand-wringing, lengthy white papers and weekend robotics fairs are only a quick fix. Caltech physics grad, daughter of a Chinese Tiger Father, host of the syndicated radio science minute “The Loh Down on Science,” and mother of two daughters in L.A. public schools, Loh delves into the past, present and hopeful future of robust, rigorous and engaging 21st Century science education.
Public education is a noble idea, but when educated, middle-class parents survey the test scores of poor, heavily minority-populated urban schools, the first instinct is to flee. Loh’s bestselling Mother on Fire, which the New York Times calls “a feat of genius,” charts her trajectory from private school wannabe to consciousness-raising Burning Mom. Via Loh’s personal experiences vigorously “Tiger Mom”-ing her daughters’ entire Title One Los Angeles school (where English learners experienced everything from chess to violin), she found new appreciation for the unsung teachers who toil on with often unsung ingenuity and grace. They are the real heroes, as public school is the civil rights issue of our generation.
2015 marks an extraordinary milestone; almost one in every two U.S. women will be menopausal, and the majority of American women will be 45 years old or more. This is a time of huge challenge and potential: many middle-aged women are caregiving for two generations (Loh’s term is “the Triple Ms”—middle-aged mothers in menopause), and they also have more money and power than ever before. Thriving—and even just coping—during this time will take a lot more than following the standard medical advice of avoiding alcohol, sugar and caffeine and doubling kale intake. This talk is inspired by Loh’s New York Times notable book, The Madwoman in the Volvo: My Year of Raging Hormones.
