Welcome to season two of What on Earth?!

In this episode, we are celebrating both LGBTQ+ History AND International Women and Girls in STEM day with Dr. Sam Giles. We talk to Sam about her unexpected and accidental passion for fossilized fish, being a Queer parent in STEM, and how to make fieldwork more inclusive. 

Sam Giles studied Geology at the University of Bristol and did a  Ph.D. in Paleontology at the University of Oxford where she studied ray-finned fishes.  Currently,  she is a Royal Society Research Fellow at the University of Birmingham where she is studying the external and internal anatomy of living and fossil vertebrates.
