Madison Erin Mayfield - Scientific Illustrator Specimens

    • Nature

Love science and conservation? Want to discover new ways to protect our species? Elle Kaye chats with guests who work within the science genre, but whose job titles may need a little unpacking. Strap in for entomology, taxidermy, diaphonization, pet remains, human pathology and all those that work with specimens.
In episode 009, Elle chats with Madison about leaving her background in Biological Sciences to become a Scientific Illustrator, moving to Australia where she begun training as a preparator and taxidermist and her thoughts on sci-art as a tool for conservation outreach.
