She is on the biosciences faculty at Rice University, a research associate at the Smithsonian Environmental Research Center, the Vice President of the American Society of Parasitologists and President of the Helminthological Society of Washington. After undergraduate and masters degrees at Bowling Green, she did her PhD in ecology at the University of California Davis. Her award-winning books include 2023's \"A City On Mars\" which we talk about here.\nHow do we sift through the optimism and scepticism about space exploration in general and living on the Moon and Mars in particular? How will we survive in the long term? What are the big questions about food, health, reproduction, travel, living together and becoming self-sufficient? Together with her husband Zach, \"A City On Mars\" is a funny, informative and accessible assessment of this challenge that everyone can enjoy.\nFor more on Kelly, her website is Weinersmith |\nFor her books, see here: Dr. Kelly Weinersmith\nFor her Royal Society book prize, see here: Kelly Weinersmith: To Boldly Go? | Royal Society\nThe Polymath World Channel brings you interviews with extraordinary researchers and academics working on the frontiers of their disciplines.
