Meet the Hosts!

Meet Blythe!

Blythe Lawson is a 2nd year Ph.D. student in an entomology lab. Her career-path up until this point has been convoluted AF. Blythe has worked in early education, medical labs, the cannabis industry, academia, and even operating rooms. With wide-spanning experience, Blythe brings a number of skills to the table as she pursues her graduate degree. She is a networking queen, talented artist, salsa connoisseur, admirer of fine arts, dog mom, and newlywed. Coffee order: 16oz soy milk latte hot with half-sweet pumpkin.

Meet Cassie!

Cassie is a 2nd year Ph.D. student in the same entomology lab as Blythe. She grew up in Maine (but can’t ski or snowboard) and loves to hike, drink beer, and hang out with friends. She’s moved three times in her short 25 years and lives with her boyfriend and animal pack. In her free time, she likes to read young adult fantasy novels, listen to true crime podcasts, and thrift. Coffee order: Cold brew with caramel and almond milk.
