In this week’s episode we chat with Natalie Schmitt, an Australian conservation biologist and founder of WildTechDNA, currently based at McMaster University in Canada. WildTechDNA, Natalie’s company, has developed a genetic test to help the scientific community learn more about and quantify rare and elusive animal species, facilitating citizen science around the world and hopefully providing valuable data to inform decisions around conservation.
Natalie tells us about her journey and the career that led her across the world and even recounts her experiences out in the field studying whales and snow leopards while working on her PhD!
