Because Bikes Ep. 11 - Jess Bunchek

By: Parker Ohlmann  November 18, 2020

This week for the #BecauseBikes series, we sat down with Jess Bunchek to chat about her collegiate career and her work today with NASA. Jess started racing bikes when she got to Purdue University, where she was immediately welcomed into the cycling family there. She went on to get her Masters Degree at Penn State and continued riding. As a botanist for NASA's Veggie project, Jess is currently preparing for an overwintering campaign in Antarctica. We hope you enjoy our conversation with Jess!
