Health on Wheels

We apologize for the echo on this audio, we're still learning how to be professional podcasters (we're science nerds at heart) but we felt it was still important to publish the episode! 

Text books can't save you and dead bats! Join us as we sit down with our summer intern and Knox County native, Kayleigh Loyd to talk about what it means to pursue a career in the field of public. We talk about how she picked her major, things she's learned with us this summer, and what we hope to see for the future of the field we all love so much.
