My guest tonight for a late night conversation is Dr. Mireya Mayor.\\xa0 She is a world-renowned primatologist and explorer, an award winning TV host and a recognized science communicator. As National Geographic\\u2019s first female wildlife correspondent, Mireya has hosted dozens of documentaries, including her own Nat Geo Wild! series Wild Nights with Mireya Mayor\\xa0and Mark Burnett\\u2019s\\xa0Expedition Africa\\xa0for History Channel. Mireya currently stars in Travel Channel\\u2019s hit series,\\xa0Expedition Bigfoot.\\xa0 But the former NFL cheerleader, daughter of Cuban immigrants, and mother of six, is not your typical scientist.

Mireya is known for exploring the most remote regions of the earth in search of elusive, rare and little known animals. Her explorations have led to several scientific discoveries, most notably her co-discovery in Madagascar of the world\\u2019s smallest primate, a brand new species to science.

In addition to her regular TV appearances, Dr. Mayor is also the Director of Exploration and Science Communications at Florida International University (FIU)\\xa0and regularly gives lectures around the country for the National Geographic Speakers Bureau.

So join us for a discussion of the scientific possibilities of BIGFOOT on this episode of the NECRONOMICAST!
