In episode 035 Elle chats with Dr. Michelle Taylor about her work as Director of Marine Biology at Essex University in the United Kingdom and President of the Deep-Sea Biology Society. She discusses her journey into marine biology, and where around the world her research and exploration has taken her. She shares details about her research in deep-sea corals deep-sea ecosystems, what drives their biodiversity and how we can limit human impacts in vulnerable habitats such as coral reefs.

Love science and conservation? Want to discover new ways to protect our species? Elle Kaye chats with guests who work within the science genre, but whose job titles may need a little unpacking. Strap in for entomology, taxidermy, diaphonization, pet remains, human pathology and all those that work with specimens. In episode 034 Elle chats with Dr. Ryan Terrill about his work as an ornithological postdoctoral researcher and the work he does at the Moore Lab of Zoology in California. We discuss the primary focus of his research in molt and character evolution through feather replacement in birds; and the biogeography and natural history of the birds of the New World tropics.
