    The ladies are PUMPED to bring you two amazing stories filled with controversy, inhabitable landscapes, and DIY surgery! First, Emily tells the harrowing story of Dr. Jerri Nielsen FitzGerald who, after a messy divorce, decided to get away from it all- by going to the bottom of the world to be a doctor at an Antarctic research station. But when Dr. Jerri herself was in need of medical attention, it was up to her and a battle promotion crew to keep her alive. Kelley returns to her roots to cover the celestial Vera Rubin who studied the space and stars and, despite all of her efforts to avoid it, was the center of controversy throughout her career and still today.
