It’s a VERY exciting episode this week as Shawn and first-time co-host Acacia welcome Assistant Professor of Bioengineering at Northeastern University, Dr. Mona Minkara to the show to discuss her documentary travel series, “Planes, Trains, and Canes”. She describes the origin of the series as a Holman Prize Winning entry and what it was like traveling to and navigating 5 different countries using only public transit as a traveler who is blind. It's a fascinating and exciting discussion of international adventure and  accessibility that you don’t want to miss!
