My new guest speaker is Louise Firth.  Louise is a researcher and lecturer based at the University of Plymouth.  She is a marine ecologist who works in both natural and artificial coastal environments. She is interested in the relationship between humans and coastal ecosystems (Marine Community Ecology) and how this relationship has changed over time (Historical Ecology). She is particularly interested in developing novel ways of making space for nature in human-dominated environments, (Eco-Engineering).  In this episode, we'll be talking about the different topics Louise is interested and busy working on ... eco-engineering, historical ecology, how cool limpets are... Louise also talks about her career path and gives some wonderful words of advice for future marine scientists...  If you want to know more about how we can bring nature back into human-dominated environments, or want to know more about limpets and what they are, or just want to have an insight into the life of a marine ecologist... here's an episode for you!  Thanks for listening! 🐚🏢🚢🛠️🐟🌿 If you've got any feedback, comments, recommendations or questions, let me know !
