I’ll Have What’s She’s Having — Cocktails and You
Leah Golubchick (MA Ed, Museum Educator, Sexology Enthusiast) Leah Golubchick is an educator and enthusiastic lover of science. When she’s not teaching high school student’s anthropology at the American Museum of Natural History*, she’s updating her blog Anthrocity.tumblr.com, walking her mutt through Brooklyn, and purging her internet search history after researching talks for Sexology on Tap. Leah hopes one day the world will be as comfortable thinking about science as they are thinking about sex, but in the meantime will settle for a good “That’s what she said.”
No Grit, No Pearl — The Darker Side of Oysters
