We’re kicking off season 7 with an episode on how we can replace microplastics with seaweed!

Our new podcast hosts, Emily and Erin, talk to Mark Dorris and Dominic O'Rourke who are Edinburgh-based researchers and founders of the company Mercel. 

On this episode we hear about the far-reaching potential of seaweed-derived cellulose and the work Mercel is doing in using this sustainable material to create products which replace microplastics in industries such as pharmaceuticals, cosmetics and even in laundry products! We also hear about the challenges involved in the journey from scientific research to founding a successful business!

You can find more information about mercel on their website https://www.mercel.co.uk/

In the Season 6 Finale we talk to Hollywood dinosaur consultant Professor Steve Brusatte for Kelsey and Katie's final episode. Steve talks about the joy of discovering new dinosaur species right here in Scotland, and how he got involved as an advisor for the Jurassic World movie franchise. Get ready for some phenomenal fossil facts and some insider info on the biggest dinosaur blockbusters.

You can follow Steve on Twitter @SteveBrusatte or Instagram @steve.brusatte to keep in the loop about his books, public talks and generally all things dinosaur and evolution.

And if you missed it, make sure to check out our first paleontology episode where PhD student Ruaridh Alexander tells us how the very first animals evolved.

What did the very first animals look like? Pretty weird, apparently. PhD student Ruaridh Alexander is studying the fossils of the earliest animals to understand how they evolved on the cusp of the Cambrian explosion, a period over 500 million years ago where the diversity of animal life suddenly skyrocketed.

Ruaridh tells us about the average day on a dig in the desert finding fossils, how you go about classifying a new species, and what these incredibly ancient rocks can tell us about life on Earth through the ages. You can keep up with Ruaridh's work on Twitter @RuaridhAlexande

Keep an eye out in the next week for the second part of our paleontology parade as we delve deeper into the world of dinosaurs for our season finale.

If you need reminding why maths and statistics are fun and fundamental to all areas of science, look no further!

Our guest this episode, Professor Ruth King, uses statistics to understand populations where it’s impossible to count every single individual. She explains how similar mathematical tools can help fill in the blanks regardless of missing data points, across vastly different contexts. Find out how monitoring populations of rare and endangered animals can develop methods that also help us better understand human social issues, like improving policies to help people who inject drugs.

Scientific research depends on some of the most environmentally destructive practices to ensure high-quality science: single-use plastic, thousands of tonnes of packaging, quick delivery of equipment just to name a few. Many would say manufacturers have a responsibility to try and reduce the impact their products have on the environment but questions remain: do these companies actually care about the environment? And what exactly are the multinational companies doing to save our little green rock?

This episode Katie and Kelsey talk to Nermina Cuzovic, Global Sustainability Manager for Greiner Bio One and Executive Assistant to the CEO, to discuss what Greiner Bio One - a big player in the science manufacturing field and our sponsor - is doing to create more sustainable practices in research.
