David Potts is a research scientist at the Dow Chemical Company. He is originally from Tulsa, Oklahoma, and is proudly a lifelong stutterer! He received his bachelor's degree from the University of Oklahoma in 2018 and his PhD from the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign in 2024, both in chemical engineering. His work at Dow focuses on developing catalysts to speed up and make chemical reactions more environmentally friendly. David moved to Michigan in July 2024 and has been participating in the East Lansing chapter of the NSA since then. He is passionate about mentorship, outreach, and making scientific fields a more welcoming and accessible place for other people who stutter. This is his first annual NSA conference, and he is excited to meet people and participate in the fun!
