My island was graduate school in Chemistry
On the Human Spectrum
For today’s episode I got to talk to one of my favorite people about her time as a graduate student in Chemistry in the 1970s, and her route there, (literally and figuratively) including the wonderful story of how Eileen met her husband in Mesa Verde National Park when she drove cross country with a friend in October of 1960, camping outdoors along the way. Eileen is an absolute delight.
(We also spoke about face blindness and synesthesia and had a good laugh- and I’m posting that in a separate episode.)
I talked with Carolyn McGrath about her wonderful memoir in another episode, link to her book:

and lastly- for an idea of what Eileen's car might have looked like... (so cute!!)
