How Engineering Created Your World with Roma Agrawal
from Factually! with Adam Conover
We tend to think of "technology" as screens and apps, but it really means everything from the plumbing in our homes to the nails that hold our walls together. The field of engineering literally builds the world around us, but the fascinating history behind these foundational elements is easy to overlook. In this episode, Roma Agrawal, structural engineer and author of Nuts and Bolts, joins Adam to discuss how engineering shapes not just our buildings, but the way we live our lives.
