Avenger of the Week | Marilee Talkington: Actor, Director, Activist

If you haven’t read this week’s blog post, go ahead and do that first. When Marilee Talkington had had enough of the men on the World Science Festival panel talking over the one woman scientist, even mansplaining her own theories to her, Marilee spoke out and demanded that the moderator let her speak. Thank you to Avenger Megan Lynch for sharing this story with us.
