In this episode of the Paperless Podcast, I am joined by Helen Pilcher, science writer, author, and comedian with a PhD in cell biology. Together, we flip the episode script as Helen interviews me about my Zoology BSc dissertation, "The Laws and Ethics of De-extinction."

In 2016, Helen wrote a popular science book titled “Bring

Our discussion dives into the fascinating world of de-extinction, exploring the science behind bringing back extinct species like mammoths, the real-life implications of a 'Jurassic Park', and the ethical and legal challenges involved. Helen and I unpack surprising discoveries from my research and consider what de-extinction could mean for future conservation efforts.

Join us for a really interesting conversation that bridges

Hello and welcome back to the Paperless Podcast.

Thank you so much for tuning in, I apprceiate it's been a while, but exams and coursework have kept me

In this episode, I'm joined by Dr. Elodie Freymann, a recent PhD graduate in Anthropology from the University of Oxford. Originally from New York, Elodie completed her incredible research on Chimpanzee Self-Medication in the Budongo Forest, Uganda. She investigated the self-medicative behaviours of the Sonso and Waibira chimpanzee communities, focusing on their use of natural resources for wound healing, snare removal, and hygiene.

Our conversation dives into her research, particularly her yet-to-be-released systematic behavioural review paper, which served as a foundation for her study. Elodie’s work provides valuable insights into the intricate behaviours

In this episode of the ⁠Paperless Podcast⁠, I dive into the subject of pollination and carbon nanodot facilitated gene silencing pesticides with biologist Daisy Furrokh from the University of Bristol.

It is a great episode where we unpack Daisies time in the bee-labs, investigating the implications of these carbon-nanodots on bee/pollinator behaviour. Through observations, Daisies work holds some real promise, and she was recently asked to speaking about this work at the Royal Entomological Society conference in Newcastle last month. We also relate the important work that Daisy is doing to the issues of global food security and making agriculture fit for the future.

This episode is well worth listening to and once again highlights the exceptional research done by students!

In this episode of the Paperless Podcast, we dive into the subject of ecological grief with philosopher Hugo Rompani, from the University of Bristol. Join us as we unpack his thought-provoking paper titled, "On the Appropriateness of Ecological Grief," which sheds light on the emotional responses to environmental challenges often overlooked in philosophical discourse.

Hugo Rompani seeks to fill this gap by offering a philosophical analysis of ecological grief, drawing from Michael Cholbi's framework of grief as practical identity investment. Through a careful examination of different types of ecological grief and their appropriateness, Hugo aims to provide legitimacy to those grappling with grief due to environmental loss.

This episode is well worth listening to and once again highlights the exceptional thoughts, ideas and knowledge that often goes unnoticed outside of academic circles.

In this episode I am joined by Robin Battison who is an ecologist and an avid climber. Robin graduated from the University of Bristol last year, with a Masters of Science in Bioinformatics. Our discussion delves into his remarkable paper, exploring tree population change at scale using repeat airborne laser scanning.

Robin reveals how cutting-edge technology is unraveling the mysteries of tree growth, survival, and recruitment over vast landscapes. Robins work focuses on the expanse of temperate woodlands in western Australia, where over a decade, more than 40,000 individual trees have been meticulously monitored. Robin's findings hold crucial implications for our understanding of climate change's impact on forests, especially in relation to things like wildfires.

Finally, we touch on Robins other passion - climbing. We talk about its benefits as a tool to connect people back to nature and escape. Robin also co-founded the 'The Circular Climbing Collective'. This group has been set up to help people with mental health struggles with collective peer-to-peer support, through climbing. Check out their work here: https://circularclimbingcollective.co.uk/

In this episode I talk to MSc Data Science graduate Luke Sawney from the University of Manchester. We talk about his masters thesis on all things attacking football, clustering and how this impacts tactics and transfers out in the real world.

With the January transfer window opening this week, it's a great way to kick it all off, and understand some of the data behind the moves.

We also chat about the state of the game, including referees and how data or AI could be used to add consistency to those decisions that continue to divide opinion! Furthermore, Luke's passion for data science shines through as we break down his methodology for his paper which revealed there are 5 distinct attacking styles that are used in football. These include anything from Dyche's long ball to Pep's one touch game. This is a must listen for any football fanatics out there!
