On this episode of a Life in Ruins Podcast, we continue our series of talking with TikTok Science Communicators and talk with Lindsay Nikole. Lindsay is a zoologist with a passion for all living things in the animal kingdom, and has over 1 million followers on TikTok.

We dive straight into her experiences growing up and her experiences getting her undergraduate degree. This devolves into a discussion about upper division courses, dinosaurs, and evolution. Lindsay then recounts some of her professional experiences working with big cats in the Pacific Northwest, Namibia, and Minnesota.

Our conversation finishes with talking about TikTok and her experience on the app.
