Rocket Scientist Olympia LePoint wins The IRWIN Award for her Answers Unleashed educational STEM book series.

LOS ANGELES, April 26, 2023 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- On April 23, 2023, Olympia LePoint receives The IRWIN Award for her Answers Unleashed® educational science book series. The I.R.W.I.N. Award stands for Industry Recognition of Writers In the News Award, named after the late Hollywood Publicist Irwin Zucker, who led the Book Publicists of Southern California organization for nearly 50 years.

Irwin Zucker mentored Olympia LePoint for over 10 years as LePoint wrote her books. The late Irwin Zucker was a book promoter for over 60 years representing Zsa Zsa Gabor, Norman Vincent Peale, Helen Gurley Brown, and other Hollywood celebrities as the founder of Irwin Zucker's Promotion in Motion. In 1976, Irwin Zucker founded The Book Publicist of Southern California, an organization that educates authors and bestows The IRWIN Award. In 2022, Irwin Zucker passed away peacefully in his sleep just shy of his 95th birthday.

Today, Olympia LePoint is an award-winning author, professional speaker, and science journalist who is exposing how science can provide answers for the future through her news stories, her educational STEM books and lectures at universities and global technology forums.

Hailed "The New Einstein" by her fans and named the "Modern Day Hidden Figure" by People Magazine and Newsweek, Olympia LePoint is an award-winning rocket scientist, TED speaker and award-winning celebrity author who is helping audiences overcome fear with science, her personal story and trail-blazing faith. As an internationally recognized scientist, LePoint helped launch NASA's Endeavour, Discovery, Columbia, and Atlantis Space Shuttles, part of a career total of 28 NASA Space Shuttle launches.

Today, Olympia LePoint is an award-winning author, professional speaker, and science journalist who is exposing how science can provide answers for the future through her news stories, her educational STEM books and lectures at universities and global technology forums.

LePoint is the author of the books:

Mathaphobia: How You Can Overcome Your Math Fears and Become a Rocket Scientist (2013);

Answers Unleashed: The Science of Unleashing Your Brain's Power (2018);

Answers Unleashed II: The Science of Attracting What You Want (2021).

LePoint's first book Mathaphobia, helps readers overcome their math fears, so they succeed in their STEM education. The book contents are shared on PBS, on NBC News, CBS News, and in her TEDx Talk "Reprogramming Your Brain To Overcome Fear" which has exceeded 1 million views.

LePoint's second book, Answers Unleashed, helps readers overcome painful memories and chaotic life situations to unleash the power of the brain for science innovation using a science theory she defines as "The Triabrain Theory of Relativity." The book and its theory are shared in a talk at California State University Northridge, on the TV show "Impact Theory" and on a "Motivation2Study" video with nearly 2 million online views.

LePoint's third book, Answers Unleashed II: The Science of Attracting What You Want, introduces a new decision-making science method, called Quantum Deciding. The science-based method helps leaders make 6 decisions to attract the future that they want through effective decision-making. Her Quantum Deciding science method is described on ABC News, CBS News, CBSN News, Cheddar News, MSNBC, NBC News, CW News, Amazon Prime, iHeart Radio, Tavis Smiley's KBLA Talk Radio, "The Doctors" TV show and within a lecture given at California State University Northridge. The Quantum Deciding® system – which includes virtual trainings, LePoint's third book, and a yearly planner – helps individuals build the life they want; and the system helps technology companies create the groundbreaking, future-thinking needed for new STEM technology in the future.

Today, she is awarded The 2023 IRWIN Award for her STEM educational Answers Unleashed® book series.
