She has long blond hair and is smiling, giving a joyful and relaxed vibe.If you are a science enthusiast, you have probably heard of Dianna Cowern, an American science communicator and YouTuber known as Physics Girl, who is living with Long COVID and ME/CFS. 

This Saturday (July 6, 2024), Dianna’s team will be live-streaming a day in her life, showcasing what it’s like for her to suffer from from Long COVID and ME/CFS. The livestream will be viewable on the PhysicsGirl YouTube channel from 6:45 A.M. to 6:00 P.M. (Pacific time).

Co-hosted by Ian Hecox and Simone Giertz, the event will feature pre-recorded expert interviews and in-depth discussions about Dianna’s journey. While Dianna won’t be speaking during the livestream – she will be in bed, mostly awake, resting as she does daily – viewers can learn from the interviews and discussions, hear Kyle, Simone and Ian answer your questions, and of course, see Dianna.

Pre-recorded interviews from experts include: 

Linda Tannenbaum, Founder and CEO of OMF, interviewed by Derek Muller from Veritasium.
Dr. David Kaufman, an ME/CFS specialist, interviewed by Vanessa Hill from BrainCraft.
Dr. Raven Baxter, a science communicator, interviewed by Kyle Kitzmiller.
