Nina @nina.draws.scientists
I think we can all agree that Nina's account is incredible. She strives constantly to include a diverse cast of women achieving incredible things to feature on her platform, raising awareness of some pretty badass women! I managed to meet Nina "in person" over google...
Mary @marynguy
Mary @marynguy runs an incredible blog alongside her job as a Structural Engineer for NASA. She advocates for wellness and self care (so important!), alongside being a modern day career woman in STEM and constantly lifting others in the community up. I could say more,...
Rukia @lifewithrukia
Rukia @lifewithrukia was recently featured on @nina.draws.scientists "Top Ten Heroines in STEM" (check out Nina's incredible illustration of her here) and this is when I first discovered her account. She is a force of nature and a strong advocate for representation in...

I have seen a lot of instagram posts discussing motivation recently and it has me thinking about the things that I do to get me back into that frame of mind. I also recently attended an event where this was the main topic of discussion, mostly focused on creatives...
Movement in Robotics
One thing that I find particularly fascinating in robotics is the constant problem solving in movement. Generally, at least in my head, when you mention "robot" I have a biped in my head. Something with two legs that walks like we do. This sort of movement brings a...
What is a Robot?
In a previous blog post I delved a little into the book by Isaac Asimov "I, Robot" and his three laws of robotics. Although interesting, this book remains fiction and our washing machines/actual attempts at robots are not really programmed with these laws [that we are...
