Michael Pashkevich: Spiders, palm oil, and research in lockdown
This week I'm talking to Michael Pashkevich about why we should love spiders, whether we should boycott palm oil, how to engage underrepresented groups in STEMM and how lockdown has affected his PhD.
Michael Pashkevich is a PhD student in the Insect Ecology Group in the Department of Zoology at the University of Cambridge. His research interests focus on spider ecology and sustainable agricultural management. For his PhD he is studying the biodiversity and functional ecology of spiders in Sumatran oil palm plantations.
