Episode 10: Fostering Kittens and Joy with Carissa

Written By Emily Shelby

Hello y’all! Today I sat down with Carissa Gilliland, a PhD candidate at UGA in the Department of Entomology who fosters kittens! Talking points include Carissa’s path to UGA, the grad school work that doesn’t get mentioned in the research paper, how she got started fostering kittens, tortitude, and anti-cat bias.
