Specimens


Apr 25, 2022

Strap in for entomology, taxidermy, diaphonization, pet remains, human pathology and all those that work with specimens.

In episode 033 Elle chats with Dr. Ben Garrod about his work: from primatology and evolutionary biology to broadcasting and lecturing. Ben discusses the objective behind his new children’s book series ‘Extinct’ and how he helps empower children about conservation. Ben discusses what it means to be a scientist and his thoughs on how the subject is intersectional and multi-faceted.
