Our host Cat chats with  Dr Jenny Bloodgood about her work with turtles who grow into seafood-loving couch potatoes in rehab, manatees who are not quite ready for climate change and the devastating 12-year aftermaths of the Deepwater Horizon oil spill in the gulf of Mexico, the largest and most devastating oil spill in history. Jenny is a vet and marine mammal health researcher at the Dauphin Island Sea Lab in Alabama. 'Alabama has a coastline?' you might wonder. Yes, it does and even a very pretty one. By now, Jenny has moved on to her new position as an Assistant Professor of Practice at Cornell University College of Veterinary Medicine and a Wildlife Veterinarian with the New York State Wildlife Health Program in Ithaca, NY.<a target="_blank" href="https://www.buzzsprout.com/twilio/text_messages/2085497/open_sms">We'd love to hear from you ... share your thoughts, feedback and ideas.</a>
