#100 - Rachel Villani: How I Became a Field Biologist (REMIX)
b'
Today\'s storyteller is me! This is a remix version of Episode 1, where I share the story of how I became a field biologist. I have re-edited it, added stories, and expanded on things I glossed over in the first version. I won\'t re-release episodes regularly, but I have learned so much about storytelling, editing, and podcasting in general so I wanted to do the original episode more justice. I\'ve also had a few realizations during the past year that came to me in conversations with other guests so I had more to say about my story. So enjoy!
