Description
In this episode, we sit down with Giovanni Strona, a senior researcher at the European Commission's Joint Research Centre and a former Associate Professor in Ecological Data Sciences at The University of Helsinki. With research interests centering around the interface between ecology, computer science, and physics, Giovanni is on a mission to better understand the multi-faceted threats of global change.
So what role do ecological interactions play in extinction processes – and what mechanisms are contributing to biodiversity loss? Giovanni joins us to discuss his perspective on a chilling topic: the potential of another mass extinction…
Tune in now to find out:
- The pathogens that may threaten our biological systems.
- What permafrost can show us about ancient viruses and bacteria.
- Methods scientists are using to study organisms that are thousands of years old.
