How does materials science affect our lives? – with Anna Ploszajski

one of my favorite quotes is, "The more you know, the more you know, there's more to know."

This was a fun and interesting presentation, but I think it would have been better to have more in-depth information about the specific structures and qualities of different materials. Probably should have gotten the craftsmen themselves to come out and demonstrate bits and pieces of their craft for the audience. Nonetheless, still fun and demos are hard to do live too.

Very interesting but I feel that I lost third of my time listening of a lot of bla bla family or what ever. But still a good performance and I have learn things so thank you and thanks to RI for showing us that we can learn in a funny way...may be desapointed cause I wanted to learn more.
Have a nice day

awesome presentation!

Glass melts. It just doesn't have a defined melting temperature.

amazing

Thanks for an interesting presentation about materials!

I can't watch a broken snickers lying on the floor

um um um ummm smacks lips um um um smacks lips ... WTF

I heard a rumour that she has a book coming out?

So much funny, kiddy blabla.. missing the information in between all the giggly small talk and Side Stories ..maybe better suited for a stand up comedy stage...

Sexy

After all her discussion about "macho environment" I bet that she is single. Luckily for the man that doesn't have her.

Just amazing ❤

Science will destroy humankind. Good job numbnuts!

Ted Talk nonsense

No crumpet trumpet 🤔😋

I've missed so much of this because of commercials. It's just abusive now. I'll try to watch again later. Gonna watch the Glass Onion without commercials now.

Wow. Thank you heaps for this episode. I greatly enjoyed it and learnt heaps from it. Great displays. 👌👍

I wonder if materials science can explain how a person can be so awesome.

She is looking like a female version of "Tom Cruise".

I'm a bit dissatisfied with the explanation of why maltodextrin doesn't burn. If that really depends on ring numbers, then polysaccharides like flour/starch shouldn't burn either. But they do. It's more about the degree of fragmentation I think. Or even water molecules that are in the crystalline framework.
But the shoes are really cool!

It's funny that they removed the historical desk for her while they kept it for other people doing fire and explosions, haha..

As a queer person in STEM, i cant express how liberating it is to see a butch queer woman actually give a performance and make her talk pop.
Well done Dr Ploszajski!

Mark Miodownik's two books on material science are good.

I think it should be filled with experiments and demonstrations than history

Nevermind that the kind of UAP with instantaneous accelerations reportedly use a metamaterial to achieve low energy spacetime warpage. Materials Science will change EVERYTHING we thought we knew, and everything we thought we were already good at doing, like getting around quickly for example.

I still find funny “the soviet method of making rubber from potatoes”.
Potato->Ethanol(bad vodka)->Butadiene->Rubber

Only TWO of the comments below are from humans... 🙄

Hem...

I thought we might get deeper in materials unique specifications and what some combinations might give us, or which qualities we get out of them.

Science is being manipulated by politics, that is affecting a lot of lives!

this is a terrible video and this video insults islam

I don't think we've fully unlocked materials science potential.
