Mandy Humphreys is a biologist, scientist, and (despite how bad things seem now) an optimist for the future.

She's also a woman, which is important! I talk with Mandy about what it is like to be a female in the sciences. We swap stories about bats, rabies, and what it's like to be in a female dominated fields that seems to be always run by men.

We eventually talk about what she thinks is coming next; how the current (and upcoming) diverse makeup of those in science will help propel us into a better world.
