From collecting urine samples in
Antarctica to sampling whale snot to study reproduction, Dr.
Carolyn Hogg’s career is anything but ordinary. In this episode,
she shares how her passion for protecting threatened species led
her down some unexpected paths, including earning the nickname
‘Dr. Snot’.
We chat about her PhD on whale
behaviour, wild whale facts, and the creative ways scientists
gather data in the field. There was so much to cover, we had to
split it into two! Part 2 dives into her groundbreaking work in
conservation genetics.
