Yammine says she wants to empower young people to explore science by making it more familiar, accessible, and inclusive. Throughout the COVID-19 pandemic she's been sharing the science behind the headlines as @science.sam on Instagram and TikTok, garnering millions of views every month to better help people assess risk, spot misinformation, and have informed discussions with their friends and family. NBCLX: So how does one become a STEM Influencer? Yammine: It's really about trying to bring someone into the world of science, technology, engineering and math. It's not a STEM trying to influence what they do, but rather giving them fact-based information so they can make evidence-based decisions.
