Descripción

Today I spoke to the Bug Chicks, or Kristie Reddick and Jessica Honaker. They are entomologists and science communicators who are working on bringing science to children K-12. We talk about how their paths led them to each other and misunderstood bugs. In this episode, the Bug Chicks mention Gwen Pearson [https://www.gwenpearson.com/] and Adrienne Brundage [https://entomology.tamu.edu/people/brundage-adrienne/] as some inspirational female scientists. To learn more about them, visit their respective websites. To learn more about the Bug Chicks and their work, visit their website [https://www.thebugchicks.com/].
