I loved the segment. As an aspiring ecologist who recently have the opportunity to explore the Pacific northwestern rainforest canopiesand you fell in love with them I am extremely fascinated with her work. I love the Barbie idea too. 🙂

I would say it is past time they get interested! The last few yearz they've used their platform to support social justice causes....why stop when they are finally headed in the right direction?

Was there any research done on what women actually want to do?

Islam is right about women

Gag me.

NPR Choice pageMitch has the easiest job in the world. Whenever confronted with anything the Dem party proposes just insert 'socialist' into the phrase and watch the base froth at the mouth with glee. Socialist gun controls Socialist election security Socialist presidential harassment THE TURTLE NEEDS TO GO This is precisely why nothing ever gets done. Politicians should be dealing with each other before they put any proposals out in public.
