It's our second interview with Anne Simon, PhD, a virologist, professor at the University of Maryland, and the Science Advisor for the "X-Files" television series. If you want to hear all about a woman's journey through her career in STEM, plus her work on the X-Files over the years, including season 10 and 11, you've come to the right place!

In this interview with Vanessa, Anne gives an overview of her work and laboratory, gives advice for both students and professors in STEM, and speaks about her greatest accomplishments. We also hear about the new and exciting "X-Files" season (and the past revival season) and fun facts such as who - dead or alive - she would like to have dinner with.
