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 031 Elle chats with Tom about how he became head over heels for the natural world. He shares how at a hard time in his life, he found solace in nature and discovery and how this helped him to heal. We discuss his filmmaking projects and their conservational objectives, and his science communication plans for the future.
