  • DOES NOT SUPPORT WOMEN

    I know MANY women that actually work with her, and after listening to her podcast, she is the complete opposite of what the title of her podcast says! She is interviewing other leaders, but is a tyrannical non-supportive leader who leads by EXTREME Chaos. Anyone that work for her - does not endorse her.

  • “Inspiring Women” does just that and are conversations all aspiring women need to hear.

    Women often minimize the hard work, connections and perseverance they rely on in their careers and life. This podcast is so necessary to share the stories of women who contribute to our world. I’m looking forward to more of Laurie’s conversations.

The Scientist who helped bring back Direwolves! - Dr. Beth Shapiro
Q: What are the biggest challenges when you bring extinct species back to life, especially in terms of ecosystems and ethics?

The Scientist who helped bring back Direwolves! - Dr. Beth Shapiro
Q: When did your work shift from possibility to something approaching real-world application?
It was through building a foundation in AncientDNA, publishing on extinct species like the dodo and bison, and then realizing that the same tools—genome editing, computational biology, and reproductive technologies—could be applied to living species to restore ecological interactions and slow extinction.
