An Earth Day special with a visiting high school intern

The PrimateCast had a rare opportunity this week to enlist a 16 year old high school student intern to produce a podcast of her very own. We are now proud to present to you Nina's Passion, a rough guide to finding your passion.

Nina Negi on finding her passion

Nina writes, "I couldn’t believe it when Andrew MacIntosh, Associate Professor of the Kyoto University Primate Research Institute, answered my email. He told me that even though the PRI had never [mm, maybe] taken any high school interns before, he’d be happy to organize an internship for me."

We were more than happy to have Nina with us at PRI, and it seems she made the most of her time there, engaging in all kinds of primate-related activities and producing her very own podcast for The PrimateCast!
