About this episode
In this week’s episode, we chat with Ella Burgun, our Social Media Team Coordinator and local science communicator! We dive into Ella’s path into science communication and explore her recently completed Master’s thesis in forensic shark genetics. Ella’s research focused on using molecular techniques to identify which shark species end up in liver oil and fish oil products, a critical step for understanding the impact on vulnerable deep‑sea species like gulper sharks. We also chat about her new role at Echoview Software and how she’s bringing her scientific expertise into the world of marine acoustics and communication.Show theme music: Kevin MacLeodThank you to the whole TWICS team for the incredible behind-the-scenes volunteering every week! Host: Dr Olly Dove (Insta: ols_dove)Co-Host: Ella Burgun (@ebburgun)Production: Ryan SmithMedia & Promotion: Zi Yi Kho
