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.
TW: There is an extremely brief mention of suicide in this episode when Gary discusses working at a mortuary.
In episode 015 Elle chats with Gary about his path to becoming an internationally recognised paleoartist, how he began with taxidermy and made the transition to sculpting non-living dinosaurs. He also discusses his incredible work making a replica of 'Ötzi - The Iceman', a replica of 'King Tutankhamun's' mummy and a life-size 'Megalodon' for the Smithsonian Natural History Museum.
