Memories of a Moonbird
Memories of a Moonbird is about human stories. Almost every week, I interview interesting people doing inspiring things. From activists to actors and scientists to scholars, we talk about their hopes, their struggles, and what it means to be human. How does a teacher help former child soldiers in Africa? What do hummingbirds sound like to a deaf person? What does an accountant think is the meaning of life? Come join me and explore life… one story at a time.
Memories of a Moonbird
Dr. Mihira Karra, Chief Scientist, USAID
For close to thirty years, she’s worked as a scientist for U.S. AID, the United States Agency for International Development. Today, she’s the Chief of Research, Technology and Utilization in the Office of Population and Reproductive Health.
Originally from Calcutta (Kolkata), India, and having worked and traveled many places in her life, she’s seen sides of the world that not many of us do.
In addition to holding two Masters and a PhD, she’s also a mom and a passionate artist who’s going to talk with me about what it was like growing up in India, putting her art on hold for 25 years, and working in public health.
