When you think of a scientist, you might think of a person who is stuck in a lab all day – but did you know that science can actually take you anywhere in the world?
As Liv comes to the end of her six-month backpacking trip around Southeast Asia, she talks about some of the scientific activities she’s done along the way. From visiting the APOPO Center in Cambodia, where she met African giant pouched rats trained to detect landmines, to snorkeling around the Phi Phi Islands in Thailand and spotting some great species of fish.
Mick talks about some of the fossil digs he’s been on (and his favorite fossil), his SCUBA diving adventures with green sea turtles in Hawaii (to check them for cancer), and the time he was nearly eaten by a Komodo dragon! Did he survive? Listen now to find out!
We hope this episode gives you a glimpse into what life can be like as a scientist – and inspires you to explore more opportunities yourself!
