Physics videos for every atom and eve.

―Physics Girl

Dianna Leilani Cowern (born: May 4, 1989 (1989-05-04) [age 35]), better known online for creating the web series Physics Girl, is an educational YouTuber who started her YouTube channel and later educational web series as a post-college personal project, which has now grown into a resource for teachers, a source of entertainment for physics nerds, and a way to share a passion for physics while advocating for women in STEM.

The Alan Alda Center for Communicating Science at SUNY Stonybrook awarded her the grand prize in a national science communications competition for her video "What is Color?". Alda presented her with the award at the World Science Festival.

Personal life[]

Dianna earned a bachelor's degree in physics from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and worked as a Science Outreach Coordinator at UC San Diego from December of 2012 until September of 2015.

She grew up in Hawaii and has lived in Boston and San Diego.

In July 2022, she contracted long COVID, with symptoms similar to Myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS), forcing her to pause all activities on her channel. As of April 2024, her health had not improved and thus wasn't able to return filming videos. Updates on her condition and recovery are regularly posted on her Patreon account, now managed primarily by her editor, Levi, and her husband, Kyle. Updated are also posted on her YouTube channel albeit less frequently.
