Sharks, Seabirds, and Stylish Scientists! (What 2 Wear, W.E.E. Pod edition)

It's a treat to be joined today by Sarah Fowler OBE to talk about her work with Sharks Trust UK and the Save our Seas Foundation, as well as her new book, a beautiful illustrated guide to Sharks of the World, out now from Princeton University Press! Link below. Next, Dr Annette Fayet talks me through the Paper in Focus - what's driving foraging and breeding success of Atlantic Puffins? Listen and find out! Lastly, it's great to welcome Dr Carly Anne York back to the pod - we chat with Myrna Barjau Perez Milicua and Nussaïbah Raja Schoob about the pressure and judgement women in research face when they dress up... OR down!

Hosted, as always, by me, Kirsty MacLeod.
