Dr. Shini Somara Will Make You Fall in Love with STEM

Dr. Shini Somara, a mechanical engineer and science reporter for the BBC who teaches Crash Course Physics on YouTube, is the kind of person who could make porous paving sound interesting. In fact, the first time she was ever on television, Shini did just that—live and in front of eight million viewers, no less. She told us about it in this week’s episode of The Limit Does Not Exist while I listened, wide-eyed, and Christina audibly shrieked. This type of challenge would make most people immediately break out into hives, but when you meet Shini, you quickly realize that she is not most people. She has an infectious passion for STEM, the credentials to back it up, and the ability to communicate her passion and knowledge in a fluid and utterly dynamic way. Is it a coincidence that, when earning her Engineering Doctorate, Shini specialized in fluid dynamics? You decide.
