One Degree Of Separation - Lisa's niece

 

Lauren McGough is a falconer.  Join us as we explore her journey as ayoung girl who loved snakes to a PhD student in Social Anthropology focused on human and bird relations.  She's a Fulbright Scholar from Mongolia and a graduate of OU, Oklahoma University.  This was recorded at St. Andrews college radio station in June 2017 where she was being followed around by a documentary crew who is featuring her and 3 other falconers from around the world.  She was interviewed by Bryant Gumbel on HBO's Real Sports, hired as a GoPro consultant and they also chose one of her photos for their book.  In November of 2017, 60 Minutes tv show will be flying to Mongolia with her.  She's gotten a lot of press and I'm a proud Auntie, but I won't bore you with more.
