A series about fails in history that have resulted in major discoveries and inventions.
Following those often jaw-dropping (and sometimes hilarious fails) through time to today, host Maren Hunsberger asks: "What's next?". By talking to today's innovative young scientists, engineers, artists, and other big thinkers, we see how the mistakes of the past are leading us into the science of tomorrow...and toward a better future.

About the Host
Maren Hunsberger (she/they) is a scientist and science communicator who has studied both the human microbiome and the way people consume scientific information. She explains science in creative ways to reach people who, like her, may have never thought of themselves as a ‘science person’. By bringing her lived experience as a queer person with a learning difference to how she communicates science, she hopes to reach audiences who aren’t currently reached by science content online.
