34: A biology prof on growing up gay in rural Minnesota

Noah Whiteman, an associate professor in the Department of Integrative Biology at UC Berkeley, has always known how to survive. He moved to Sax-Zim, a rural area in Minnesota, when he was 11 and spent the next seven years learning to fish and hunt with his naturalist dad and hiding that he was gay. When a boy he'd been friends with started to bully him at every chance he got, Noah knew it was time to get out.See photos and read a Q&A with Noah Whiteman on UC Berkeley News: https://news.berkeley.edu/2018/07/03/podcast-growing-up-gay-in-rural-minnesota Hosted on Acast.
