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 007, Elle speaks with Simon Moore about his incredible wealth of professional experience, the conservation techniques he has helped to develop, the specimens he has worked with over the years and the inside world of a museum conservator.
