Episode 5 - Environmental Science with Dr. Heidi Steltzer

Welcome to our fifth episode! In this episode we discuss our role in condemning the Nazi and white-supremacy rally in Charlottesville. We learn about Sylvia Earle, an aquanaut and explorer who opened so many doors for women in marine biology. We interview Dr. Heidi Steltzer and discuss her work in "cold places" and her views on education and mentoring in science. Finally, we highlight Homeward Bound, an organization that trains women scientists in leadership skills and collaboration while sending them on an expedition to Antarctica!

Just so you know, the interview sound quality is not as good as in previous episodes, so please stick with us!
