Today's storyteller is Rebecca Atkins! She's a PhD student at the University of Georgia studying marsh periwinkles in salt marshes. Marsh periwinkles are an adorable little purplish snail found in coastal salt marshes around the coastal United States. I've always seen them when I do field work but got to learn so much about them from Rebecca. We also talk about how she got into the wetlands / snail research field, and about the course on STEM and feminist theory she just helped teach with other graduate students. The course sounded really good (that's the "Experiences in STEMM part of this episode because I'm not very good at creatively naming episodes) and I am looking forward to learning more about those topics. Also, Rebecca, like many people I've talked to in STEMM is also an artist &amp; she does illustrations! One of my favorite parts of doing this podcast is learning about all the different aspects of people in STEMM outside of their careers/fields and it's really fun. I enjoyed talking to Rebecca so I hope you enjoy this episode! And Happy Mardi Gras! --- You can find Rachel Villani on Twitter @flyingcypress or www.rachelvillani.com, and Storytellers of STEMM on Facebook and on the shiny new Twitter account @storytellers42.
