Settle in and hear how two very different ecologists navigated their careers to become BES Fellows, and who both share a passion for turning science into action and conservation.

In this episode, we sit with Dr Caroline Howe, an Associate Professor in Environmental Social Science at Imperial College and Vice President of the BES, and Niru Dorrian, a Ambassador to the UN Ocean Decade at The Institute of Marine Engineering, Science and Technology and Senior Marine Ecology Consultant supporting EirGrid.

In this special International Women’s day edition of the BES podcast, Senior Assistant Editor Ivy talks with Michaela Guo Ying Lo, Chair of the Equity and Diversity for all Genders in Ecology (EDGE) network at the BES, which looks at addressing challenges relating to gender inequity and more within the field of ecology. They discuss what the EDGE network has been working on and its future plans, as well as the various challenges gender minorities may face as ecologists.
