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 028 Elle chats with Kristi about her journey to becoming a bird educator. She discusses the moment she fell in love with birds, and how this became the foundation for everything that she now does. Kristi talks about her word as a 'Bird Mentor' and what that means for participants to her courses. We talk about the For Love of Birds festival which Kristi hosts, which brings together some of the most influential voices in the avian world.
