Love ‘em. Hate ‘em.  Either way zoos play a big role in nearly every city. And that’s especially true in Detroit. Dr. Hayley Murphy is the new director of the Detroit Zoo. And she's also the first woman to hold that position in the zoo’s 93-year history. On today's pod episode, we have Dr. Murphy to talk all about conservation, animal stress, and the impact of COVID.

GUEST:

Dr. Hayley Murphy, director and chief executive officer of the Detroit Zoo
