Little Nemo Nov 2023 5:15pm, 30 Nov 2023 14,139 posts	0 Little Nemo She also did a series of programs on BBC2 about how modern things work. She dismantles them to show the individual components in things like credit cards, trainers, hoovers etc.
GregP Nov 2023 5:29pm, 30 Nov 2023 149,393 posts	0 GregP She’s a bit of a celebrity in the data/maths world. Our own GlennR is a big fan I believe. Think Tim Harford but much, much less likely to make me want to smack the insufferably smug I’m-clever-you’re-stupid face with a coal shovel. I accept I should like Tim Harford. Fact is I just want to rain petty violence upon him.
Night-owl Nov 2023 5:31pm, 30 Nov 2023 44,284 posts	0 Night-owl I've not heard of her either so I had a look on you tube I think I like her https://youtu.be/z8rUHKv_l6w?si=NMdZbFJzk0mf7kOu
Columba Nov 2023 6:01pm, 30 Nov 2023 22,368 posts	0 Columba I hadn't heard of her either (not seeing television, except once in a blue moon) but having watched that link - thank you, Owlie - I definitely like her.
Oscar the Grouch Nov 2023 6:03pm, 30 Nov 2023 6,869 posts	0 Oscar the Grouch Ah - I have seen her make a battery in similar vein. The Johnny Ball of the 2020's
Hanneke Nov 2023 6:14pm, 30 Nov 2023 115,344 posts	0 Hanneke That is so funny Owlie
LindsD Nov 2023 6:26pm, 30 Nov 2023 65,249 posts	0 LindsD I know her more from R4
GregP Nov 2023 6:42pm, 30 Nov 2023 149,394 posts	0 GregP Just to make sure I'm not missing a trick - only available as a hardback, vero?
Night-owl Nov 2023 6:58pm, 30 Nov 2023 44,286 posts	0 Night-owl Appears to be. But similar price to current paperbacks
