Aliye Sasmaz, who is currently the Curatorial Assistant at the outstanding Beaty Biodiversity Museum at The University of British Columbia, joins Mr. Turpin and I in the podcast booth. Aliye talks about her research adventures including 40 days in the Ecuadorian Amazon, and her love of insects, spiders, and snakes, oh my! This episode comes about months after we happened to bump into Aliye while she was working at the biodiversity museum during one of our field trips. Enjoy this conversation with an inspiring member of the Class of 2018!
