Welcome to another episode of the DNA Of Purpose Podcast.

Now as for today's interview get ready to get bugged out! Today we are speaking to the one and only Shasta Henry on the unexpected influence of bugs and let me say this! If the point of this podcast is about the creation of a better planet then as it turns out bugs are a crucial part of that ingredient.

Shasta is a scientist; a passionate adventurer, entomologist and educator. She’s part of Future Crunch, a group of scientists, artists, researchers and entrepreneurs that believes science and technology are creating a world that is more peaceful, connected and abundant. Their mission is to foster intelligent, optimistic thinking about the future, and to empower people to contribute to the 21st century that works for everyone.

She is an advocate for invertebrate technology improving the human condition, addressing problems like agricultural waste, hunger, gendered poverty and biodiversity decline. She has named beetles from the Amazon (and has one species named after her), guided white water rafts in Canada and once crocheted a hot air balloon. She's worked at the Smithsonian Museum of Natural History in Washington DC, and is currently completing her PhD at the University of Tasmania, investigating the impact of fire on invertebrate communities in the Tasmanian Wilderness World Heritage Area.
