In this episode of AV: Christy Martin is a WBC female Super Welterweight Champion. She’s been inducted into several boxing Halls of Fame; but what people didn’t know is that she dealt with domestic abuse. In 2010, her husband stabbed and shot her. Christy survived the stab wounds, the gunshot wound, and she went on to help others. Christy started Christy's Champs, to help people dealing with emotional and physical abuse. She'll tell us about her boxing career, surviving domestic abuse, and how she's helping others. 
Then, our next guest is Dr. Feng Zhang, who develops technological tools for brain science and gene editing. He'll talk to us about coming the U.S. as a child, the benefits of our education system, and advances he's making in gene editing to help cure diseases. He is a James and Patricia Poitras Professor of Neuroscience at The McGovern Institute at MIT. And a core member at the Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard. 
Plus, author Tara Ison Writer on her favorite sound.
