Fleas, Plague and Sharks: Doing Science in Madagascar - Alize Carrere

Alizé Carrère is a National Geographic Young Explorer studying Madagascar's "lavaka," a hole caused by erosion that could actually help create farming opportunities for locals. But part of doing research in a country, particularly one as impoverished as Madagascar, is surviving life in the country. She shares what daily life is like for an American doing research in the island nation, which includes dodging the bubonic plague, fleas, and the world's highest density of shark.
