In this final episode exploring the meaning of science, I speak to Dr Helen Roy, an ecologist at the Centre for Ecology and Hydrology.

Helen has been fascinated with the natural world since she was a small child, and her love has never wavered.

As her career in the natural sciences started to flourish, so did her activities in science communication: spreading the word of what she was doing to those around her, and those interested in her work.

#Citizenscience became an automatic and natural extension of her #sciencecommunication. And it is now a two-way engagement with those who are involved in the UK Ladybird Survey
