How Simone Giertz did it

In this episode of Science Quickly, we talk with Simone Giertz,
YouTube maker extraordinaire, about her life in science and the
influencer spotlight. She started making, in her words, “shitty
robots” and has evolved into a maker and product designer. But
while she makes things to solve ordinary problems, her designs are
anything but. Simone’s ethos is all about questioning why we use
certain objects the way we do—and realizing that anyone can make up
a new thing to make their lives a little better. Recommended
