Hopefully this means you'll feel more immersed in the experience by listening to the river, our footsteps in the squelch, and a natural flow of conversation. I wanted to capture Kirsten's vibrant, fun energy and playfulness with her dog while we walked, and the moment that she found the Dog Stone.Kirsten Amor is a Sheffield-based writer, editor, and photographer obsessed with nature, history, and adventure sports. ​She is a former archaeologist and lifetime climber, hiker, and runner.

Welcome to Season 15 of Let's Talk SciComm. We're so thrilled to be back with another season after a bit of a break.To get the season off to a wonderful start, we're VERY excited to chat with the incredible Melissa Cristina Márquez. Melissa, (AKA Mother of Sharks) is a bilingual Latina marine scientist, science communicator, and award-winning author currently pursuing her PhD. Melissa's scientific research focuses on the ecology, conservation, and public perception of elasmobranchs (sharks, skates, and rays), with a particular interest in how science can inform more equitable conservation policies. She has worked with a range of species across the globe, from tiger sharks in the Bahamas to Greenland sharks in the Arctic fjords of Svalbard. In addition to her scientific work, Melissa is an internationally recognized science communicator dedicated to making science more inclusive, accessible, and engaging. Her work has appeared in National Geographic, BBC Wildlife, and Forbes Science, where she is a regular contributor. She has appeared as a host and expert on programs for Discovery Channel's Shark Week, NatGeo, and Animal Planet, and is a TEDx speaker, with her talk “Sharks and Female Scientists: More Alike Than You Think” challenging stereotypes in science and media. Melissa is also a passionate author of children's literature, including the middle-grade Wild Survival! series (published by Scholastic), Mother of Sharks and Sea of Constellations (both available in English and Spanish and published by Penguin Random House), as well as the forthcoming Leo's Lobo and Coral Keeper, and ocean-themed board books for babies and toddlers. Her stories combine adventure, education, and empowerment to encourage young readers — especially those from underrepresented communities! — to connect with nature and science. She also provides free, multilingual resources to educators and the public to foster greater understanding and appreciation of wildlife and nature. She has been invited to speak at global platforms such as the United Nations, the National Academy of Sciences, Oxford University, the University of Western Australia Global Leader Experience, and the National Science Policy Symposium. Through these avenues, she advocates for greater diversity in STEM, equitable conservation, and culturally relevant science communication.

Our guest this week is Richard Smyth, author, crossword designer, cartoonist - and father of two young children Richard writes features, reviews and comment pieces for publications including The Guardian, The Times LiterarySupplement, The New Statesman, and New Scientist. His crosswords – both cryptic and quiz – appear regularly in New Scientist, History Today, and BBC Wildlife. He's part of the team that sets questions for BBC Mastermind, and he's a cartoonist: Private Eye, New Humanist and Claims magazines have all featured his work. He's the author of five non-fiction books of which the latest is The Jay, the Beech and the Limpetshell which is one of those captivating works that is both memoir and eulogy of a dying world. It brings together Richard's passionate love of the natural world with his care for his two young children. It's a captivating read that shuttles back and forth along the time lines, weaving Twitter comments from 'Average Dad' with items from the memoirs of old Victorian naturalists who tasted bird's eggs and considerations of how we help the generations that come after us to fall in love with a world that is going to be so, so different from when we were young - however old you are now, whatever your memories. So this is one or our more reflective, peaceful, contemplative podcasts, a paean to the worlds of our youth and a hope for the future.  Enjoy!Richard's Website Richards books at Hive

Hello and welcome to another episode of the Migration & Diaspora Podcast, produced by Homelands Advisory, your independent migration agency. In case this is your first time tuning in, we spotlight projects, research and stories related to people on-the-move. Today, we've got a heavyweight of the migration world, Rob McNeil from the Migration Observatory at the University of Oxford, on the show to get his take on contemporary public debate on migration. About Rob Rob is the Deputy Director and Head of Media and Communications at the Migration Observatory, where he leads on public relations strategy, parliamentary and community outreach and news and commentary work. Rob was actually part of the team who launched the Observatory in 2011 and, since then, has been working to embed its analysis in public debates. Rob also participates in Oxford University and the Centre on Migration, Policy and Society's (COMPAS) research projects, examining the social environments from which news stories and narratives about migration and migrants emerge, how media debate affects migration policy decisions (and vice versa), and how information gaps affect how these issues are discussed. Rob is a former journalist and previously served as Media Director for the US environmental organisation Conservation International, PR manager for Oxfam GB, Senior Press Officer for WWF-UK, and as a journalist for the Evening Standard, The Daily Mirror, Time Out and BBC Wildlife, among other publications. What we talk about That's quite the track record. In today's far-reaching, perhaps meandering, interview, I learn from Rob's extensive media and academic experience studying migration narratives and debates, especially in the UK and Europe (though parallelling discourse in many other countries). We discuss the nature of these migration debates and, in particular, which factors seem to lead to more balanced and less toxic debates on migration. I'm sure you'll agree this is a very timely conversation.  I thoroughly enjoyed having Rob on the show because he not only speaks from his eminent position at the Observatory, but also draws from his experience working on different topics in different countries. I'd like to thank Rob for coming on the show and thank you for listening. And without further ado, please sit back and enjoy the episode.

5x15 is delighted to welcome two best-selling and award-winning authors back to our virtual stage. This time, Lucy Jones and Amy Liptrot will be in conversation about Jones's highly anticipated new book MATRESCENCE: On the Metamorphosis of Pregnancy, Childbirth and Early Motherhood. Other than adolescence, there is no other time in a human's life course that entails such dramatic change than pregnancy, childbirth and early motherhood. So why has this transformation been so neglected by science, medicine and philosophy, and gone largely unrepresented across literature and the arts? Lucy Jones's new book is a groundbreaking, deeply personal investigation into the emerging concept of 'matrescence', and an urgent examination of the modern institution of motherhood. Join us for an inspiring conversation between Lucy Jones and Amy Liptrot, author of The Outrun and The Instant. They will be discussing important questions around motherhood and femininity; interdependence and individual identity; as well as our relationships with each other and the living world. Praise for Lucy Jones and MATRESCENCE 'A beautiful contemplation of the extraordinary yet ordinary metamorphosis that adult humans undergo as they become mothers ... I was entranced ... Matrescence is a passionate and powerful maternal roar for change' - GAIA VINCE 'Hypnotic, fascinating and long overdue. I am so glad it exists. A gift of a book and told beautifully.' - LAURA DOCKRILL 'A beautiful, intelligent book that is as tender and moving as it is demanding and urgent. There is something insightful and original in the way Lucy Jones seamlessly combines the analytical with the emotional, and it is an absolutely essential new addition to the literature of mothering and parenthood.' - CLOVER STROUD Lucy Jones is a writer and journalist based in Hampshire, England. She previously worked at NME and the Daily Telegraph, and her writing on culture, science and nature has been published in GQ, BBC Wildlife, The Sunday Times, the Guardian and the New Statesman. Her bestselling book Losing Eden was a Times and Telegraph book of the year in 2020. Amy Liptrot is the author of Sunday Times bestsellers The Outrun and The Instant, which was shortlisted for the Wainwright Prize for Nature Writing. She writes columns and reviews for various magazines and newspapers including the Guardian and the Spectator, and recently presented Motherhood in Owl Woods: A Landscape for Recovery for BBC Radio 3.

In the years leading up to the Second World War, the U.S. was represented in Japan by Ambassador Joseph Grew: born from a patrician family, Harvard-educated, ran away to the foreign service, and deeply respected by his fellow diplomats and Japanese politicians alike. From his arrival in Tokyo in 1932 to when he was eventually repatriated back to the US in 1942, after Pearl Harbor, Grew dutifully reported to and advised the U.S. on what to do with an increasingly imperialist, militarist—and, at many times—dysfunctional Japan. And if officials had listened to Grew, as Steve Kemper tells it in his book Our Man In Tokyo: An American Ambassador and the Countdown to Pearl Harbor (Marine Books, 2022), the history of US-Japan relations may have looked very different. In this interview, Steve and I talk about Joseph Grew, his time in Japan, and how U.S. obstinance, and Japanese imperialism, militarism and dysfunction, got in the way of his diplomacy. Steve Kemper is a journalist and the author of A Labyrinth of Kingdoms: 10,000 Miles through Islamic Africa (W. W. Norton & Company: 2012), A Splendid Savage: The Restless Life of Frederick Russell Burnham (W. W. Norton & Company: 2016), and Code Name Ginger (Harvard Business Review Press: 2003). He has written for Smithsonian, National Geographic, Outside, Wall Street Journal, BBC Wildlife, and many other magazines and newspapers.

Links from the show:* Our Man in Tokyo: An American Ambassador and the Countdown to Pearl Harbor* Connect with SteveAbout my guest:In November 2022, Mariner Books (HarperCollins) published my new book, Our Man in Tokyo: An American Ambassador and the Countdown to Pearl Harbor. It's a behind-the-scenes narrative about the volatile lead-up to the war with Japan, told from the perspective of the American who knew that country best at the time—Joseph C. Grew, the United States ambassador from 1932 to 1942. In 2019 the National Endowment for the Humanities gave me a grant through its Public Scholar Program to support the research and writing.My previous book, A Splendid Savage: the Restless Life of Frederick Russell Burnham (W. W. Norton, 2016), is the biography of a man once world-famous as "the American scout." Before that, I wrote A Labyrinth of Kingdoms: 10,000 Miles Through Islamic Africa (W. W. Norton, 2012), about Heinrich Barth, one of Africa's greatest explorers yet nearly forgotten today. The book is a nonfiction historical adventure that recreates Barth's incredible five-year, 10,000 mile journey in the 1850s. The Boston Globe named Labyrinth one of the best nonfiction books of 2012.My first book, Code Name Ginger: the Story Behind Segway and Dean Kamen's Quest to Invent a New World (Harvard Business School Press, 2003), was selected by Barnes & Noble for its Discover Great New Writers award. Harper published the paperback under the title Reinventing the Wheel: a Story of Genius, Innovation, and Grand Ambition.Other credits: Smithsonian, National Geographic, National Geographic Adventure, National Geographic Traveler, Outside, Wall Street Journal, Yankee, National Wildlife, The Ecologist, Plenty, BBC Wildlife, and many other magazines and newspapers. I have taught writing and journalism as an adjunct professor at CUNY Graduate School of Journalism and at Fairfield University.I grew up in Louisville, Kentucky. After graduating from the University of Detroit, I taught literature and writing at the University of Connecticut while earning a Ph.D. I've received several awards for my work, as well as a grant from the W.

In today's episode I'm chatting with Annie Moir, a marine biologist, wildlife filmmaker and impact producer at the BBC. We briefly worked together on a biodiversity project before both moving on to other things - but we stayed in touch and she was one of the first people that came to mind when I started planning this podcast.We spoke about noise pollution in the oceans, how human activity is affecting whales and all other marine animals, and what we could do to reduce that impact. One of my favourite moments was when she said she suggested to a big supermarket chain they might review their entire shipping process to avoid whale migration routes. We also touched on the importance of starting a conversation, and how different approaches to how we tell these stories are needed to reach as many people as possible.Want to dive deeper?Watch A Voice Above Nature, Annie's documentary on noise pollution https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hZ505SSIkHoStart a conversation - tell someone about what you learned in today's episodeConsider the impact of your travel and holidays, maybe avoid ferries and cruises if you can!Consider how we could go back to living in harmony with the natural world, and remember that there are no straight lines in natureAnnie's recommendationsMountains of the mind - Robert Macfarlane https://www.wob.com/en-gb/books/robert-macfarlane-y/mountains-of-the-mind/9781783784509Period Power - Maisie Hill https://www.wob.com/en-gb/books/maisie-hill/period-power/9781472963611Little linksAnnie on Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/annieemoir/Why We Care on Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/whywecarepodcast/Tiphaine on Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/tiphainemarie_/If you enjoyed the episode and want to help the podcast, I would be super grateful if you could leave a little review or share it with a friend who might like it.Thank you for caring and sending you lots of love!

La primera vez que me senté ante sus imágenes lo hice convencido de que la fotografía de naturaleza no me gustaba, que, de hecho, ni siquiera me interesaba. Tras solo unos minutos admirando lo que es capaz de traerse de la selva más recóndita y de escuchar la pasión con la que habla de lo que fotografía mi opinión cambió por completo. Sus imágenes son el resultado de combinar un profundo conocimiento y un enorme amor por los animales… A lo que se suma una enorme dosis de trabajo y dedicación. Hoy, en Calle Oscura, Javier Aznar. En este episodio hablamos de - Aficiones heredadas. - Profesionalizar una pasión. - La selva. - Los peligros del mundo “civilizado”. - Constancia y suerte. - Arriesgar. - Compatibilizar encargos y proyectos propios. - Conservar la riqueza natural. - Prejuicios y desconocimiento. - Conocer para preservar. Y de muchas otras cosas que salieron al paso. Quién nos acompaña Javier nace en Madrid en 1989 y guiado por su amor por los animales cursa estudios de biología en la complutense. Como fotógrafo contribuye habitualmente en medios como National Geographic Magazine o BBC Wildlife y desde hace casi una década su trabajo es reconocido nacional e internacionalmente con premios como el Memorial María Luisa y el Wildlife Photographer of the Year. Es miembro de The Photo Society y de la iLCP, la Liga Internacional de Fotógrafos Conservacionistas y usa la fotografía con el objetivo de sensibilizar sobre la necesidad de conservar la inmensa riqueza natural del mundo, mostrando de cerca, muy de cerca, animales de todos los tamaños que dependen de un equilibrio muy delicado.

Join 5x15 for a thrilling investigation into whale science and animal communication with Tom Mustill, author of the ground-breaking new book How to Speak Whale and Lucy Jones author of Losing Eden. How could breakthroughs in science change our relationship with animals forever? In 2015, wildlife filmmaker Tom Mustill was whale watching when a humpback breached onto his kayak and nearly killed him. After a VIDEO CLIP of the event went viral, Tom found himself inundated with theories about what happened. He became obsessed with trying to find out what the whale had been thinking and sometimes wished he could just ask it. In the process of making a film about his experience, he discovered that might not be such a crazy idea. In this special event, Tom tell's the story of the pioneers in a new age of discovery, whose cutting-edge developments in natural science and technology are taking us to the brink of decoding animal communication – and whales, with their giant mammalian brains and sophisticated vocalisations, offer one of the most realistic opportunities for us to do so. Using ‘underwater ears,' robotic fish, big data and machine intelligence, leading scientists and tech-entrepreneurs across the world are working to turn the fantasy of Dr Dolittle into a reality, upending much of what we know about these mysterious creatures. But what would it mean if we were to make contact? And with climate change threatening ever more species with extinction, would doing so alter our approach to the natural world? Enormously original and hugely entertaining, How to Speak Whale is an unforgettable look at how close we truly are to communicating with another species – and how doing so might change our world beyond recognition. Tom Mustill is a biologist turned filmmaker and writer, specializing in stories where people and nature meet. His film collaborations, many with Greta Thunberg and David Attenborough, have received numerous international awards, including two Webbys, a BAFTA, and an Emmy nomination. They have been played at the UN and COP 26, and been shared by heads of state, the World Health Organization, and Guns N' Roses. He lives in London with his wife Annie, daughter Stella and the inhabitants of his small but surprisingly deep pond. Lucy Jones is a writer and journalist based in Hampshire, England. She previously worked at NME and the Daily Telegraph, and her writing on culture, science and nature has been published in BBC Earth, BBC Wildlife, The Sunday Times, the Guardian and the New Statesman. Her first book, Foxes Unearthed, was celebrated for its 'brave, bold and honest' (Chris Packham) account of our relationship with the fox. Losing Eden took Jones from forest schools in East London to the Svalbard Global Seed Vault via primeval woodlands, Californian laboratories and ecotherapists' couches. Praise for How To Speak Whale ‘We rarely pause to consider what animals think or feel, or question whether their inner lives resemble our own. Tom Mustill's fascinating and deeply humane book shows us why we must do so – and what we, and the planet, could stand to gain by it' Greta Thunberg ‘A rich, fascinating, brilliant book that opens our eyes and ears to worlds we can scarcely imagine' George Monbiot, Sunday Times bestselling author of Regenesis 'Scary, important and brilliant' Philip Hoare, author of Leviathan 'Extraordinary' Christiana Figueres, former executive secretary of the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change, and co-author of The Future We Choose With thanks for your support for 5x15 online.

My guest this week is naturalist, conservationist and writer Benedict Macdonald. Benedict has recently released a new book ‘Cornerstones', which talks about how by restoring cornerstone species we can help turn around the current impoverished state of nature in the UK. His previous book ‘Rebirding' was how I first came to know of his work and I've been a great admirer of his work ever since. We talk about the numbers of UK birds, how land management needs to change in order to stop the loss of species in this country and what we can do at a garden level to make changes. Dr Ian Bedford's Bug of the Week: Box tree moth What we cover - Do we waste money propping up untenably small populations of threatened species in isolated areas? - Bird species that are the ‘walking dead' in Britain - Achieving cooperation between individual land owners to create the large scale and connected habitats that are needed to sustain populations - Adopting a build it and they will come approach -  Are we wasting our time trying to make a difference at the garden scale? If not, what can we do to make a difference?  - Some of the problems mentioned in Rebirding are directly related to the EUs common agricultural policy. How could this change given Brexit? - Ecotourism About Benedict Macdonald Benedict Macdonald is a conservation writer, field director in wildlife television, and a keen naturalist. He is passionate about restoring Britain's wildlife, pelicans included, in his lifetime.  During his extensive global travel experience, Benedict has found inspiring examples of why desecrating our country's ecosystems is both entirely avoidable and against the national interest. This book is his attempt to ensure that this generation, for the first time in thousands of years, leaves Britain's wildlife better off, not worse, than the generation before – for wildlife and people alike. Benedict is a long-time writer for Birdwatching magazine, as well as a contributor to the RSPB Nature's Home and BBC Wildlife. He has been fortunate to work on TV series for the BBC and Netflix - most notably the grasslands and jungles programmes of Sir David Attenborough's conservation series Our Planet.

Natural history documentaries are hugely popular on British television. They offer great examples of science communication, and they have a long history, stretching back to the early days of broadcasting by the BBC, and more. As luck would have it, here in STS, we have an expert in these programmes and the people who create them. Dr Jean-Baptiste Gouyon is Associate Professor of Science Communication in the department. He teaches science journalism, sociology of science, and lots more. He also is co-director of our new MSc in Science Communication. A few years ago, Jean-Baptiste published a book on the history of British natural history documentaries, BBC Wildlife Documentaries in the Age of Attenborough (Palgrave). And yes, while research it he met and interviewed the one and only, David Attenborough. In this episode, Dr Jean-Baptiste Gouyon discusses his recent book, BBC Wildlife Documentaries in the Age of Attenborough. This is a history of British natural history filmmaking across the twentieth century. It also is an analysis of how filmmakers establish their identity and authority, such as through “making-of” segments added to their films. Crucial to Jean-Baptiste's analysis is the work of Sir David Attenborough, whose career as a broadcaster and natural history filmmaker has profoundly influenced British wildlife television. In researching his book, Jean-Baptiste interviewed Sir David. We talk about his experiences meeting the master of natural history of television. The book we discussed was: Gouyon, Jean-Baptiste. 2019. BBC Wildlife Documentaries in the Age of Attenborough (Palgrave).

The Instant is the outstanding new book from Amy Liptrot, Sunday Times bestselling author of The Outrun. She joins us on the eve of publication for a very special event in conversation with Lucy Jones, author of Losing Eden. The Outrun is a book about living on the edge, about the pull between island and city, and about the ability of the sea, the land, the wind and the moon to restore life and renew hope. It won both the Wainwright Prize and the PEN Ackerley Prize, and was a BBC Radio 4 Book of the Week. Oscar nominee Saoirse Ronan has just been confirmed in the leading role in the forthcoming film adaptation. The Instant picks up where The Outrun left off. Wishing to leave the quiet isolation of her life on Orkney, Amy books a one-way flight to Berlin, rents a shared flat and looks for work. Searching for new experiences, she explores the city's streets, nightclubs and parks and seeks out the city's wildlife - goshawks, raccoons and hooded crows. And she looks for love through the screen of her laptop. The Instant is many things - luminous and intensely honest, powerful and poignant. Amy Liptrot is the author of The Outrun, a Sunday Times bestseller. She writes columns and reviews for various magazines and newspapers including the Guardian and the Spectator, and recently presented the BBC Radio 4 series The New Anatomy of Melancholy. Lucy Jones is a writer and journalist based in Hampshire, England. She previously worked at NME and the Daily Telegraph, and her writing on culture, science and nature has been published in BBC Earth, BBC Wildlife, The Sunday Times, the Guardian and the New Statesman. Her first book, Foxes Unearthed, was celebrated for its 'brave, bold and honest' (Chris Packham) account of our relationship with the fox.

#095: Gerrit Vyn's photography has been inspiring conservation action across the globe for many years. Starting out his career as a natural history photographer, Vyn's current position as a Producer with Cornell Lab of Ornithology (hello, dream job!) has him traveling across the continent and the globe documenting disappearing bird species. It's not an easy job, physically or emotionally. But as a conservation photographer, this particular focus on birds serves conservation on several levels. Vyn says, "My work often focuses on birds because they are such powerful and visible indicators of environmental health and change. Connecting people with birds is often a first step in opening people's eyes to the natural world around them – and to the unprecedented environmental crises now unfolding." His work has been featured in National Geographic, Audubon, Living Bird, BBC Wildlife, GEO, Natural History, National Wildlife and The New York Times.But best of all, his images have been used by conservation organizations large and small to help bring measurable impact for species. In this episode, Vyn shares: What it means to make conservation images that can be put to meaningful useThe benefits of photo blinds and how to use them The emotional impact of working in this field, and how he keeps moving forwardUnforgettable experiences in the field, including being the firsts person to film spoonbill sandpiper chicksAnd much, much more

The touching and beautiful photography of Suzi Eszterhas is a reminder that every photograph has the potential to say something powerful, poignant and meaningful. Much of her work used imagery of baby animals to spur big impact for conservation. On this episode of Talking Apes we're going to be exploring the way we think, interpret and talk about conservation and wildlife through the camera lens.  We'll also touch on the challenges of being an incredibly talented and dedicated female photographer in a field traditionally dominated by men.Suzi's images have graced the covers of over 100 magazines such as Smithsonian Magazine, BBC Wildlife, TIME and Ranger Rick. Suzi joins us for a thoughtful — personal look at conservations meaning and its importance in our lives through images, and how that's brought to life in her new book, NEW ON EARTH: Baby Animals in the WildSee more of Suzi's work: https://www.suzieszterhas.com/Support the show (https://globio.org/donate)
