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 019 Elle chats with Dan about how he fostered his love of storytelling about the natural world, some of the incredible experiences he has had in the quest for documenting it, like filming snow leopards in Kyrgyzstan, and searching for Harpy Eagles in Guyana, and what it's like to live his dream through this job.
