Living and working in Cambridge UK, French-born Population Modeler Deborah Pardo is questioning her place in science. As a little girl in Marseilles, she dreamed of studying and protecting wild animals. But the dream does not match the reality of her successful scientific career. Deborah arrives on the ship in search of answers.
