Summary
🧑‍🎨🪸 This conversation is SO full of seaweed people I had to split it into two episodes. You’ll like this part if you’re interested in kelp forests growing on ancient coral beds, Scottish seaweed mythology, seaweed robots and trumpets, biobanking, how kelp makes babies, and stories about connecting scientists with communities and artists. We hear from two artists - Leza Howie and Josephine Johnson - who along with Nicole Steenhoff have organised the HoldFast exhibition in Walyalup (Fremantle) WA. Also joining us are molecular ecologist Dr. Antoine Minne and Research Director of WAMSI, Dr. Jenny Shaw. Find out more about HoldFast here .
