🎙️Until recently, most of us had never heard of the #hantavirus. Now it's making headlines and - with memories of COVID-19 still fresh in our minds - unsurprisingly causing some anxiety. We chat to Dr Danny Wright @ovg.ox.ac.uk to learn more about the virus & how it spreads.

Culling & conservation may not seem to go together, but when there are no natural predators and populations are increasing, culling may be the only viable option. We chat to Jess Frater @wildcru.bsky.social about the Scottish #deercull, public perceptions, and conservation messaging.

When we jet off on a #aeroplane, a lot of us feel some guilt over our #CarbonFootprint. So, what if we could reduce the emissions associated with air travel? We chat to Dr Tamsin Whitfield @oxfordmaterials.bsky.social about her research developing new alloys for aeroplane engines.

‘Killing animals’ and ‘conservation’ sound mutually exclusive, but when it comes to managing populations that are having a negative environmental impact, is culling the answer?
Until recently, most of us had probably never even heard of the hantavirus. Now - with memories of the global COVID-19 pandemic still fresh in our minds - it's only natural to feel slightly concerned about the new virus hitting our headlines.
