Moment Mentor Memento ep. 2 with Arctic biologist Emily Choy

When she’s not in the classroom, Arctic biologist and Assistant Professor Emily Choy is in the company of beluga whales, polar bears and murres (the penguins of the north). Emily sat down with journalist in residence Jeff Goodes to talk about her research and tell stories about a defining moment from her career, a mentor who had an outsized impact and a special memento (that has a connection to playing baseball on an island in the Far North from 11 p.m. to 4 a.m.).
