Now available on Spotify and Apple podcasts, this 35-minute interview with me from the Women Living the Questions podcast, a series of conversations with women over the age of 60 about their formative experiences and lessons learned over the course of their lives. Host Ruby Tugade recruited subjects from the Yale Women Facebook group, which is how this came to be.

From the podcast description:
In this episode, host Ruby Tugade speaks with Helen Glazer, an artist whose work bridges art, science, and the natural world.
Helen shares her path from painted constellation murals in Baltimore to tactile sculptural work for blind children, designed so that form can be experienced through touch. She reflects on how these experiments expanded into photography of complex natural systems and later into 3D and digital modeling.
She also describes a lifelong pattern of moving toward the edge of what she doesn’t yet know how to do, where uncertainty signals discovery rather than doubt.<
There was also a formative cross-country trip as a teenager that exposed her to communities living in very different circumstances across the United States, deepening her understanding of privilege, resilience, and shared dignity.
More recently, Helen brings her curiosity to Antarctica and Greenland, documenting landscapes formed by ice, time, and climate change, and exploring how powerful natural and human forces influence what we see and are.
This is a conversation about curiosity, and following questions across a lifetime.
