Today's storyteller is Isobel Romero-Shaw! Isobel is a PhD student at Monash University in Melbourne, Australia. She studies gravitational waves, which is AWESOME. I'm not even going to pretend to be smart enough to write out an explanation of what that is so just listen in and Isobel will explain it to us. What I will say is that the existence of gravitational waves was predicted by Albert Einstein, and recently confirmed just a few years ago. There's still so much to learn in this field! Today Isobel tells us how she stubbornly chose physics, and about her research with gravitational waves. And then we jump into a dive about Homeward Bound - I'm HB5 as you all know and Isobel is HB6. It was really great getting to talk to her and I'm happy to have met another person from HB6, so enjoy! --- You can find Rachel Villani on Twitter @flyingcypress and Storytellers of STEMM on Facebook and on the shiny new Twitter account @storytellers42. You can find Isobel on Twitter @astrobel_rs and her HB6 fundraising website. Isobel's book is Planetymology!

Today's storyteller is Dr Harriet Teare! I got connected with Harriet because she's in the newest cohort of Homeward Bound - HB6 - and I put an all call on Twitter to invite them to come be on the podcast! So Harriet is the first of several episodes featuring HB6ers, and I feel a bit like a sophomore in high school now with the new class coming in after me. So that's how Harriet and I got connected, but she's here today to talk about her work in the healthcare space working on managing health, not disease, and focusing on ways new and upcoming technologies can make healthcare more accessible for all. It's really interesting and I learned a lot! Then we also go on tangents about our health habits and fitness interests, like the endurance activities we both do. I personally have been struggling with lack of motivation during this pandemic because my normal source of motivation is gone, and Harriet explains how she found unique ways to stay motivated during this unusual time. As usual the episode title doesn't begin to cover everything we talk about in this episode so enjoy! --- You can find Rachel Villani on Twitter @flyingcypress and Storytellers of STEMM on Facebook and on the shiny new Twitter account @storytellers42.
