Hot Girl Histories

The History of Sabrina Pasterski


Listen Later

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.
