Episode 9: Anne Simon, PhD, Virologist and "X-Files" Science Advisor

WWEST Assistant Coordinator and new host, Vanessa, sits down with Anne Simon, PhD, a virologist, professor at the University of Maryland, and the Science Advisor for the "X-Files" television series. Dr. Simon gives an overview of her work and laboratory, gives advice for both students and professors in STEM, and speaks about her greatest accomplishments. We also get a small glimpse into the new and exciting "X-Files" season, and fun facts such as who - dead or alive - she would like to have dinner with.
