Ocean Story Hour: Making Marine Biodiversity Visible

Ocean science only matters if people can connect with it. Science communicator Anabelle Chaumun explains why marine biodiversity is difficult to make visible, why misinformation can outpace evidence, and how ocean storytelling can stay accurate while still feeling human. The episode also introduces EMBRC's network of European marine stations and explores documentary photography, ethics, representation, and science communication as ways to connect research with public life.Support our science communication by joining us on Patreon or sending us a gift on PayPalSpecial thanks to the Monterey Bay Aquarium for sponsoring this episode.Episode Guests: Anabelle ChaumunConnect with Anabelle Chaumun on LinkedInVisit the European Marine Biological Resource Center (EMBRC) websiteCommunications: for science and society, Ministère de l'Enseignement Supérieur, de la Recherche et de l'Espace by Anabelle ChaumunArtists residencies as part of the TREC expeditionEMBRC's latest annual report 2024EMBRC's websiteA few examples of applications of EMBRC research:Portugal: Preventing a deadly dinner: How EMBRC Portugal’s marine research is keeping dinners safeGreece: Innovative disease control strategies in marine aquacultureEMBRC Political RecommendationsEpisode Transcript and more information on the Pine Forest Media websiteFollow Pine Forest Media on Instagram @pineforestmediaHosted, produced, and edited by Clark Marchese Cover art by Jomiro EmingTheme music by Nela RuizFind some more Pine Forest Media podcasts belowListen to Plastic Podcast on Spotify or Apple PodcastsListen to South Pole on Spotify or Apple PodcastsListen to Something in the Water on Spotify or Apple Podcasts Hosted on Acast.
