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 027 Elle chats with Mariana about growing up in Uruguay and entering the world of conservation there, before moving to the US to pursue her education in the subject. She discusses moving into the field of Palaeontology and her role at the Yale Peabody Museum, and shares what specimens are housed at one of the oldest natural history establishments in the world. Mariana also talks about her new role as a science-communicator, and the methods she uses to get the word out.
