Wishing everyone @society4science a very Merry Christmas!!! #Repost @society4science (@get_repost) ・・・ #brcmMASTERS alumna Rachel Pizzolato had an opportunity not many #youngscientists have: to appear on #MythBustersJr where she used her #STEMskills to investigate whether myths from popular culture are feasible in real life. Throughout the filming of the show, Rachel had the opportunity to work closely with @therealadamsavage, an engineer and special effects expert with over 20 years of experience. . When it comes to Adam Savage, he is one of the best individuals that anyone can ask to have as a mentor,” said Rachel. “He has years of practical experience, not only in engineering and fabrication, but in television production and public speaking. He is a wealth of knowledge, and I am fortunate to be able to call him my friend.” . Through starring on the show, Rachel hopes to be seen as a #STEMadvocate for budding #scientists younger than herself. “Many young kids do not have #STEM-related role models due to many factors, but I can be that role model by encouraging their work and offering a bit of advice based on my experience," said Rachel. . Stay tuned as @Mythbusters Jr. is set to debut on Wednesday, Jan. 2, 2019, on the @sciencechannel. . #GirlsInSTEM #Science #SSPalumni https://www.instagram.com/p/Brn6lQBl6yt/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=14u9kluuwla7v
