Daniel Hayden: Don't Settle For What Won't Make You Happy

In this episode, Yotakahron catches up with her friend Daniel Hayden over Zoom (*note the sound quality). Daniel is from the Comanche Nation and is a Ph.D. student at the University of Wisconsin-Madison who studies plant pathology. Daniel’s work recognizes the highly diverse cropping systems of Indigenous Peoples and he seeks to use his research to help aid Indigenous growers in their crop production for food sovereignty initiatives. They discuss problems in academia, studying plants is like, how COVID has changed things, and a few other tangents.
