GoldieBlox teamed up with the If/Then Initiative to bring you the YouTube series Fast Forward Girls. The show follows the journey of young women as they learn about the STEM in the real world by immersing themselves in it with the help of leading female innovators. In the Fast Forward Girls Spotlight, we take a moment to get to know those innovators a little bit better.

Malancha Gupta is a chemical engineering professor at USC and a polymer scientist. Her polymer expertise made her the perfect candidate to take Jazmine Garcia on a tour of a glue factory in Fast Forward Girls: Slime Science. She talked with us about what made the science behind glue really stick with her as she was growing up.
