SciShow, a long-running science-focused YouTube channel with 8.3 million subscribers, recently visited Brandeis to film an episode of its new SciShow Field Trips project with Hannah Yevick, assistant professor of physics. Yevick's research includes study of the syncytiotrophoblast, a single, giant cell folded around the human placenta with a surface area that spans 13 square meters. She talked with SciShow about how her study of this cell is revealing new clues about how cells work in general, and how she was originally inspired to start looking at the mechanobiology of the placenta.
