In this episode, Hannah Mumby joins me to talk about her research on elephants and wild boar, as well as her experiences of being #DisabledInSTEM, and her new book: "The Secret Lives of Elephants"! This episode's Paper in Focus is from Andrea Quattrini: dive into the wonderful world of anthozoa, and learn what the paleoclimate can tell us about changes in coral diversity through deep time (paper link below). Lastly, Hannah and I are joined by Eleanor (Ellie) Bladon and Jade Bleau to talk about friendship - how friendships have been important in our lives and careers, how we deal with boundaries in professional settings, and how we make and maintain friendships as early career academics.

Hosted, as always, by me, Kirsty MacLeod.
