My university received a few years ago the promise of the largest single gift to a public university in U.S. history. It was equivalent to 12 hours of bombing Iran.

This was special. I got to host ABC's The Philosophers' Zone, in celebration of International Women's Day. And - the best part - I interviewed my good friend Kristin Gjesdal.

This was a really fun conversation with @nieaufgehenderrest.bsky.social
