Specimens

Love science and conservation? Want to discover new ways to protect our species? Elle Kaye chats with guests who work within the science genre, but whose job titles may need a little unpacking. Strap in for entomology, taxidermy, diaphonization, pet remains, human pathology and all those that work with specimens. In episode 023 Elle chats with Danielle about her journey to becoming a wildlife biologist. She discusses her work co-founding the Black Birders Week initiative and how her birding pursuits led to her being coined 'The Cemetery Birder'. Danielle also shares her advice for getting into cemetery birding, and her plans and dreams for her future as a birder and wildlife biologist.
