How can wonder and positivity impact the way we make progress?
Dr Ella Gilbert describes herself as a cloud nerd and all-round polar enthusiast. She has a post-doctorate role in climate modelling at the British Antarctic Survey and believes that communication is key when it comes to the big scientific challenges.
In this audio Spark, Ella discusses the idea that creativity and imagination are essential in any discipline, and especially in finding our way towards more helpful outcomes for our future habitat.
