by The SCU at UWE Bristol
A podcast from the UWE Bristol Science Communication Unit featuring staff and students from the unit. Each episode, we explore issues of science communication and science research with students on our courses interviewing researchers, scientists and more. Can we solve noise pollution in the seas by making films about it? How can health research reach the communities who need it most? How do we track the wild bears of Greece from a lab in UWE Bristol? Let’s chat!

In this episode of Science Chatters, we celebrate an award winning film from one our UWE Bristol alumni as we explore the power of conservation storytelling. We sit down with Peter Venn, leader of the MA in Wildlife Filmmaking, to discuss the craft of capturing the natural world on film and Wildlife Ecology and Conservation Science student, Saskia Barrows, interviews Tatiana McCabe, a recent MA graduate who took home the prestigious Gold 2025 Student Academy Award. Tatiana shares the story behind her award-winning documentary, Tides of Life, which follows the vital work of Richard Tesore and his marine rescue center, S.O.S Rescate de Fauna Marina, in protecting the coastal wildlife of Uruguay.

In episode nine of Science Chatters, we head into the field—and into the studio—as UWE Bristol’s MSc Science Communication students take their skills to the airwaves.Fresh from creating radio shows at the BBC studios, students bring us their radio packages. We hear from MSc student Evie Gardner, who explores the health of UK rivers with Dr. Lewis Campbell from The Rivers Trust, looking at how environmental DNA (eDNA) is helping scientists monitor pollution and biodiversity, and how this data can shape conservation efforts. MSc student Alice Thompson takes us to the ocean’s depths in her interview with Leo Richards, a filmmaker working with the Schmidt Ocean Institute. Together, they explore the wonders of deep-sea ecosystems and the Flying Spaghetti Monster.

In the eighth episode of the Science Chatters podcast, we dive into the world of animal welfare during global crises as Professor John Hancock. Speaking with MSc in Science Communication student Brodie Goodall, Professor Hancock discusses insights from his latest book, Animal Welfare in a Pandemic: What Does COVID-19 Tell Us for the Future? This episode also spotlights an innovative conservation project called Vertipools, with MSc Science Communication student Sarah Adams. Sarah gives listeners an inside look at how Vertipools—small, artificial rock pools installed along seawalls—help create habitats for marine life in urbanized coastal areas. The feature delves into the science and creativity behind Vertipools and their potential to foster biodiversity in our cities. Plus, we find out about Love and Science, a radio show on BCFM where UWE Bristol's MSc Science Communication students get hands-on experience broadcasting science topics to a broader audience. With a mix of curiosity and love of the exploration of scientific ideas, Love and Science offers a unique platform for students to develop their communication skills while engaging listeners in the wonders of science.
