How did a shy nanotechnologist acquire the superpower to transform into Nano Girl? Is a phone booth involved? Dr Michelle Dickinson tells us how she overcame her poor performance in college and fear of public speaking to become one of the best known science influencers in New Zealand. She also takes us on an energising and eclectic tour of her science life so far - from nano technology in diapers and toothpaste to working with Richard Branson on his private island. This entertaining podcast also marks the 50th episode of scigest! Can't get enough? Stay tuned for part two when we delve deeper into Michelle's passion for science communications through her "Nano Girl Live" performances and "Nano Girl Labs", a company aiming to inspire, educate and empower through STEM.
