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 011, Elle chats with George about starting his career in his parent’s basement, to becoming an internationally recognised wildlife artist with clients like the American Natural History Museum, National Geographic and Oxford University, working with Lonesome George, and the incredible highs and the lows of the job.
