Lydia Jennings is a member of the Huichol (Wixaritari) and Pascua Yaqui (Yoeme) nations and holds a doctorate in soil microbiology. In place of her graduation this year, which was cancelled as a result of the pandemic, Lydia instead celebrated by running 50 miles in honor of the Indigenous scientists and knowledge keepers who came before her. Lydia’s ongoing work is dedicated to environmental science and the essential role of Indigenous communities in these spaces.
