In this bonus episode Samantha chats with three other graduate students in the Department of Animal Sciences at Auburn University in honor of International Women's Day. This fun conversation with Maggie Justice, Micayla West, and Laura Yoder spans discussions on how they each got started in an agricultural related field, their experiences as women in animal sciences, the women in their lives that have impacted them most, and so much more! This episode is a long one, but also is one that was so incredibly fun to record and I hope you all enjoy listening to it equally as much.
