This week, Alanna chats with SMAST masters student Andie Painten, who is generating baseline data from windfarm areas to study their eventual impact. Andie shares about her extensive experience in traveling abroad through her undergraduate study and research programs as well as graduate conferences. They discuss her current work, focused on the use of ventless trap surveys as well as various life stages of American lobster, Jonah crab, and black sea bass, as well as extracurricular activities such as involvement in the Society for Women in Marine Science (SWMS). We hope you enjoy this episode!

Main point: "You matter, and one person can make a difference."
