Kasandra Ford is a University of Louisiana Lafayette BOR-SREB Doctoral Fellow and biologist. Her undergrad work focused on the neurobiology and development of zebrafish, and now her PhD research work is focused on studying the convergent evolution of electric fishes from South America and Africa.

Join us as we discuss with Kassandra how her undergrad work in zebrafish helped inspire her to have a career in science, the work she is doing in electric fish for her PhD research, and about representation in science and how that has impacted and inspired Kassandra.
