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!
