The history of Sabrina Pasterski may be the most recent history covered so far, but it is no less jampacked. From building a plane at nine years old to offering Jeff Bezos that she can send him Mars, and being the first woman to graduate with a perfect GPA from MIT in two decades (in addition to being cited by Stephen Hawking), Sabrina has lots to brag about but hates hype.

Five years after Sabrina's hype has calmed, the season one finale of Hot Girl Histories includes discussions on the consequences of being called "the Next Einstein" as a twenty-two-year-old woman, imposter syndrome, dislike for the Internet, pop-science, turning bad into good, and talking too fast.

Theory will take you only so far? MEN will take you only so far! Joined by my particle physicist father, we dissect Christopher Nolan's Oppenheimer and some of the many women involved in the Manhattan Project that the movie fails to mention including Mary Frankel, Elizabeth Riddle Graves, Naomi Livesay, Maria Goeppert Mayer, and C.S Wu. But before that, we break down all the men on the screen and the ways in which the movie ignores the Trinity Test's impact on native populations. From babies to blue jeans to espionage, we discuss family life at Los Alamos, and (however surprising to the modern audience) how many women look back on their war-time at Los Alamos as the best years of their lives.
