Michelle Dickinson MNZM, also known as Nanogirl, is a nanotechnologist and science educator based in New Zealand.

Michelle said that she used to be painfully shy and afraid of public speaking. On the advice of a speaking coach, she invented the alter-ego "Nanogirl" as a way to overcome her nerves. Initially Dickinson used the name "Nanogirl" to write a science blog, then as it became more popular she started a YouTube channel and began to speak at schools and events.
