Why Grit Matters Most in Science!

Most people think being a biologist means traveling the world, taking cool photos, and working with exotic animals.

In reality, it takes grit, perseverance, adaptability, and a willingness to wade through mud, literally.

In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Noé de la Sancha, a mammalogist whose research spans the endangered Atlantic Forest in Paraguay, cacao farms in West Africa, and even the urban wildlife of Chicago.

We talk deforestation, biodiversity loss, what’s driving the sixth mass extinction, and how basic fieldwork is the foundation of every technological breakthrough in conservation.

If you’ve ever wondered what it really takes to be a scientist on the front lines of biodiversity, this is your behind-the-scenes pass.
