This week our special guest is Xochitl Clare, who discusses the topic of how to carve and intersectional and interdisciplinary path for yourself. Xochitl is a Afro-Latina Marine Biologist & Performing Artist with Caribbean & Central American heritage. Her Ph.D. research provides valuable insights on how ecosystems and the fisheries they support are coping with ocean warming and how this could impact daily livelihoods. We discuss her work in using the combined power of science and storytelling to empower a new generation of diverse ocean explorers.

In this episode we cover: Xochitl's backstory as an Afro-Latina marine biologist and performer. The benefits and challenges  of pursuing interdisciplinary interests in college and in grad school. What to consider when applying to grad school with  intersectional and interdisciplinary interests. Approaches to interdisciplinary career planning, and more!
