Join me in welcoming UC Santa Barbara PHD student, MacKenzie Wade, an anthropologist and expert in all things edible insects. We dive into her personal history with raising insects and learning how to cook with them in her Kansas State dorm. We also discuss the future of edible insect production and her own related research recently published, https://iopscience.iop.org/article/10.1088/1748-9326/aba1c1. Also check out her page she created to help our local Santa Barbara community learn, discuss, and share information about edible insects found here, https://mkenziewade.wixsite.com/santabarbarabugs, and @santabarbarabugs. MacKenzie's passion for educating others about her research and the wonders of edible insects is incredible and she is such an inspiration.
