What Can You Tell Me

Apr 20 2020 • 1 hr 9 mins

Episode 7

There comes a time in every podcasters life when they have an important decision to make. I had to ask myself, what is the best way to proceed forward when my guest and I have so much to talk about that I can’t squeeze it all into 75 short minutes. So I decided to make this interview into two episodes! You are going to have to wait until next time to hear the rest of her story!

I speak with my favorite veterinarian, Dr. Ellen Boyd who shares stories from her life, growing up on the sandy beaches of Pensacola, Florida attending veterinary school, getting her PhD doing reproductive work with animals ranging from birds to full grown elephants, if you ever wanted to know how you stimulate an elephant to ejaculate you are going to find out, and she shares her artistic side with her passion for belly dancing.

Realized a passion for animals at a young age. Attended Loyola University in Chicago, then University of Tennessee for veterinary school.

Did research studies on sea turtles in Ostional, Costa Rica, also performed semen collection at an elephant sanctuary.

Research internship at the Audubon Zoo in New Orleans performing artificial insemination on wolves, cranes, antelope.

Went to graduate school at the University of Washington for PhD study at Seattle with Professor John C Wingfield.

Thats all I have time for this episode - tune in next week for part 2 where I talk to Ellen about her move back to Chicago, meeting this podcast host, healing the loveable Isa the miracle chicken, her passion for belly dancing and some great international music recommendations.
