Meet Aanya, an undergraduate at the University of Toronto passionate about researching the brain - specifically with regards to women's health - and invasive species in the Galápagos. Listen to Aanya share the interesting connections between human health and ecosystem health, and how she's taken the lessons she's learned in research and applied them more broadly to conflict resolution skills. Aanya discusses how research for women's health is underfunded, illustrates how unique tactics by governments have been used to curb the spread of invasive species, and highlights the similarities between running a research lab and a startup company. She also delves into the biases in science, and emphasizes that "all knowledge is within a context."
Make sure you reach out to Aanya on Instagram, @aanbahl, and join her effort to spread awareness on how we can fix publication biases, adequately fund female research, and work together to save our planet.
