    Seabird Struggles (ft. Heidi Acampora)

    Good evening y'all! For this week's episode we are joined by Heidi, a seabird ecologist and marine biologist currently working at GMIT in Ireland. Her work is a two-sided coin: On one side experiencing the beauty of nature, on the other the confrontation with human pressures. Heidi explains what it is like to work as a seabird ecologist, and why it is so important to clean up after ourselves! *PS: The correct term for the industrial pellets is "Nurdles", not "Nerdos" as Remco quickly assumed. All about association, huh? --]| Music (in order of appearance) |[-- Gymnopedie No. 1 by Kevin MacLeod Link: https://filmmusic.io/song/3837-gymnopedie-no-1 License: http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ Always by DreamHeaven Link: https://filmmusic.io/song/5523-always License: http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ Ebbs And Flows Preview by Kevin MacLeod Link: https://incompetech.filmmusic.io/song/5727-ebbs-and-flows-preview License: http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ StaringattheSea by Lilo Sound Link: https://filmmusic.io/song/5883-staringatthesea License: http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ With the Sea by Kevin MacLeod Link: https://filmmusic.io/song/4638-with-the-sea License: http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ Sweet Intimacy Piano Solo by MusicLFiles Link: https://filmmusic.io/song/6162-sweet-intimacy-piano-solo License: http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ Sovereign by Kevin MacLeod Link: https://incompetech.filmmusic.io/song/4397-sovereign License: http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ Wholesome by Kevin MacLeod Link: https://incompetech.filmmusic.io/song/5050-wholesome License: http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ Night In Venice by Kevin MacLeod Link: https://incompetech.filmmusic.io/song/5763-night-in-venice License: http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/
