Science Chatters Episode Nine - Water

In episode nine of Science Chatters, we head into the field—and into the studio—as UWE Bristol’s MSc Science Communication students take their skills to the airwaves.Fresh from creating radio shows at the BBC studios, students bring us their radio packages. We hear from MSc student Evie Gardner, who explores the health of UK rivers with Dr. Lewis Campbell from The Rivers Trust, looking at how environmental DNA (eDNA) is helping scientists monitor pollution and biodiversity, and how this data can shape conservation efforts. MSc student Alice Thompson takes us to the ocean’s depths in her interview with Leo Richards, a filmmaker working with the Schmidt Ocean Institute. Together, they explore the wonders of deep-sea ecosystems and the Flying Spaghetti Monster.
