6 years ago, Clare was working a job she hated in a high-pressured accountancy firm in London. But then one day, after over 12 hours in the office, she came home and had a major re-assessment of what she wanted to do with her life - and today, she’s living her childhood dream and is studying whales. Now PhD candidate at the University of Oslo, Clare is researching the effects of pollution in Norwegian orcas. On this episode, we discuss her paper, titled “Preying on seals pushes killer whales from Norway above pollution effects thresholds” and why having a child and doing marine science as woman shouldn’t be mutually exclusive.
