In the paradise of Ticino, Switzerland palms line the foothills of the alps, but why are they here and are they a problem? Thibaut Juillard studies what makes these palms successful for his PhD in the PERL (Plant Ecology Research Laboratory) at EPFL (the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Lausanne, Switzerland). Dr Kate Johnson and Katya Bandow ask Thibaut about ‘his’ palms and how he studies them, and what he’s doing here in Tasmania both in and outside of work. Listen to hear Thibaut’s adventures around the lakes and mountains, the push and pull between predators and temperatures that will decide the fate of an invasive palm species, and a frank conversation on the differences between doing a PhD in Switzerland vs. Tasmania.

Join us as we journey through time and space to unlock Earth's dynamic history with expert guest Dr. Sheree Armistead. In this episode, we delve into Sheree’s groundbreaking research, from unravelling the mysteries of supercontinent Gondwana's tectonic evolution in Madagascar, India, and East Africa during her PhD studies, to exploring the ancient links between supercontinents and ore formation in Canada during her postdoctoral research. Now, Sheree’s focus turns to the rugged landscapes of northwest Tasmania, where she investigates the region's past ties to North America.
