Ep. 51: More Than Just a Squirrel Bite (feat. Stephanie Martinez)

Content Warning: Descriptions of wounds and traumatic medical complications

We had the pleasure of talking to Stephanie Martinez (she/they), a naturalist that works in environmental policy and GIS for endangered/threatened species. A few years ago, Stephanie was conducting fieldwork for the Rio Grande Ground Squirrel (Ictidomys parvidens), when she was bitten by one. Stephanie quickly learned firsthand how serious a bite from a wild animal can be, even an animal as small as a squirrel.
