PopSci's resident scientist Martha Harbison, staff nerd, helps normal people understand science better.
What do you do for Popular Science?
I have a few main tasks. One of them is to help develop the infographics and scientific illustrations that go into the magazine's feature well. That involves me learning about the science or technology and then translating the words and concepts into something visually compelling. Sometimes a technology can seem like it would be boring or complicated, but I have to turn it into something interesting that the average person would understand.
