We’re selling high-quality color sticker packs of some our favorite portraits by Caitlin Friesen, covering many different disciplines such as Eugenie Clark, badass shark lady, and Annie Easley, NASA Rocket Scientist! We are super pumped about these stickers and getting to spread more awareness of these ladies. Any proceeds from this merch will go towards making the podcast affordable for us to run, that means costs of equipment, hosting site, website. These would be a great stocking stuffer, Hanukkah gift, or just  because!
