Professor Jeremy Austin | Conservation Through Genetics

Jeremy Austin is an evolutionary biologist working in the fields of ancient DNA, molecular ecology, conservation genetics and forensic biology.  Jeremy’s research uses ancient and modern DNA techniques to “travel through time” to understand the evolutionary history of living and extinct vertebrates; assess the impacts of past environmental change on animal populations; and provide valuable genetic data for conservation and management of threatened species. Jeremy is the deputy director for the Australian Centre for Ancient DNA at the University of Adelaide.  This episode was sponsored by Animals Anonymous and Reptile Creative.
