Feather collections and stressed-out owls

Back in February I had the chance to sit down and chat with Ashlee Mikkelsen, a graduate student at Oregon State who studies the northern spotted owl. With my co-host, Lilian Padgett-Cobb, we talked live on KBVR about the path to graduate school, the benefits of telling people your life goals, and just how much you can learn about an owl from a single feather. You can find my full write-up here, and you can hear the interview via our podcast on iTunes.
