I KNOW it sounds odd that a wildlife, nature & conservation podcast to talk about.....space but on this episode I chat with astrophysicist & chair of Pride in STEM Dr Alfredo Carpineti about the wonders of our galaxy & how understanding life on THIS planet, can tell us about how things work....you know....way up there.

This chat was absolutely mind blowing & I loved getting a chance to ask Alfredo some questions about space that, to be honest, I've been dying to ask someone.

We also touched on the great organisation of Pride in STEM which Alfredo is chair of. This great network that supports & elevates the voices & work of LGBTQ+ people in the world of science, technology, mathematics & science.
