Two Scientists Walk into a Watershed is a podcast about natural resources and the environment. We will focus on science topics and issues in the American West with an emphasis on Utah-based science. We will be interviewing a different scientist each episode. If you have suggestions for who we should interview, you can send us a message at 2scigorls@gmail.com or message us on instagram @2SciGorls.
