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 024 Elle chats with Dillon about his journey to becoming a wildlife and Evolutionary biologist. Dillon discusses how a growing up in Texas with a fear of critters was transformed by exposure to them, and ended up becoming his greatest passion. Now studying for his masters, Dillon shares how he successfully creates and holds down his incredible science communication, whilst working towards his qualification.
