Today we bring you a story told live at the <a href="https://scifest.org/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Flagstaff Festival of Science in September 2024</a>. We’re talking about making a connection from your personal life to what we study. We’re also talking about being vulnerable. Because everyone will love you more. We promise.&nbsp;This is our second year collaborating with the <a href="https://ecoss.nau.edu/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Center for Ecosystem Science and Society (ECOSS) at Northern Arizona University.</a> Two years ago, we were hired by <a href="https://ecoss.nau.edu/team/jane-marks/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Dr. Jane Marks </a>and <a href="https://ecoss.nau.edu/authors/bruce-a-hungate/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Dr. Bruce Hungate</a>, two famous ecologists from ECOSS at Northern Arizona University. They heard our podcast and then started taking our classes which led to the idea that their students would benefit from taking our classes. So we’ve been doing online workshops and in-person workshops to help these scientists personalize their stories. The stories are amazing. I have learned so much about science through their stories in a way that brings me in. Well, you’ll see.&nbsp;Today’s story is by Megan Quinn, a master’s degree student in the biology department at NAU. Megan’s essay reveals her eating disorder and how she’s been healing from that…much like burned trees heal from high intensity wild fires.&nbsp;If you're looking for a writing coach to help your student with college application essays, contact <a href="https://www.allisonlanger.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Allison Langer.</a>Writing Class Radio is hosted by <a href="http://www.allisonlanger.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Allison Langer</a> and <a href="https://andreaaskowitz.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Andrea Askowitz</a>.
