5: Listen, Learn, and Conserve Locally (w/ María Dabrowski)

María (with an accent!) Dabrowski is a science communicator and turtle lover. We cover a wide-range of topics, from mental health to parachute science, and even how to determine worthwhile conservation efforts -- think local, and look at the motivations of those doing the work. She emphasizes that conservation communication is key, whether it involves governmental legislation or understanding why people poach. María also gives advice for those that want to travel abroad and emphasizes to enjoy what you do in life.
