It's all about photography!

New episode! Our guest today is Thea Schneider, a soon-to-be PhD student and former participant of the MOSAiC summer school. Our host, Alexandra, and Thea chat about the MOSAiC summer school on board the Russian icebreaker Akademik Federov. Thea introduces us to the daily life on board the Russian icebreaker and the many diverse aspects of fieldwork, despite the exciting hours of watching polar bears from a safe distance. Next to her degree in physics, Thea also has a BA in Photography. She therefore also talks about how to use photos to bring the scientific world closer to a public audience. They talk about Theas motivation for doing outreach and talk about the importance of showing photos from the polar regions to the public in order to highlight the changes happening in these regions. She is currently compiling an exhibition with her photos about the expedition which will be held in summer this year. You can find more about her art work on her website http://theaschneider.com/ and on Instagram @the.answer.is.north.
