Hey! I am Marwa ElDiwiny, the host and creator of the Soft Robotics podcast. I started this podcast for a reason, one of them was to ask the questions I always wanted to ask when I was in the lab and reignite my curiosity by talking to interesting people. I found my purpose in this podcast, I hope it may inspire someone somehow along this journey!

  • Wonderful resource, engaging questions, neat research! I especially appreciate the host sharing the way they got interested the interviewee's research. I would like to see the host ask interviewees to note or praise someone else's work who the interviewee is not affiliated with. I would not be able to keep up with the field without this resource. Okay, I hope your day does good. Bye!
