In this episode, we speak with Amber Wendler and Dr Shaz Zamore, co-editors of an exciting book project assembling the stories of Black women and non-binary scientists and nature enthusiasts across various career stages, research interests, and geographic locations. Future Dr Wendler is a newly-minted PhD Candidate within the Department of Biological Sciences at Virginia Tech, and Dr Zamore is a Teaching Assistant Professor and STEM outreach coordinator at the University of Colorado, Boulder. We first discuss their upcoming book and the editorial challenges they have faced to date. Later in our conversation, we chat about the lessons they both have learned from the stories they have compiled thus far, and the legacies they would like to leave behind.
