Science and stories from literally the coolest places on the planet! It’s said that the poles are the thermometer for the rest of the planet- what happens to the rest of us, has already been happening there for years. It’s easy with the state of the world currently to bunker down in a little private bubble, but its more essential than ever that we broaden our horizons and remember that there’s a world out there that is incredible- and needs us! And if that sounds too heavy for you then instead why not join us to escape as we take to on audial adventures to these strange and remote and beautiful places? We’ll speak to guests who’ve looked polar bears in the eye, who drive 12k ton ships through ice 9ft thick or who spend years doing science with no-one but three other people and thousands of penguins for company! These are Polar Times we live in. Join us, and we’ll take you there! An APECS Production (Association of Polar Early Career Scientists). Music credits: ”Scuba” - Metre Unaltered License: CC BY-NC-SA

Hello and thanks for joining us once again on Polar Times!
We have two lovely guests joining Jack on the podcast today: firstly Maaike Weerdesteijn of the Centre for Earth and Evolution Dynamics at the University of Oslo and representative for APECS Norway, and also Renato Borras-Chavez of Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile, Departmento de Ecología and representative for APECS Chile! They have been working together to produce the CLvsNO science communication series all about highlighting/celebrating the differences and similarities between our poles so that’s what we talk about today on Part 1. How and why are our poles so different? What are the unique challenges that each of them face? How did our lovely guests meet and start this project? All that before we even get to Part 2!
As always, if you would like to get in contact with Polar Times to recommend a guest, volunteer to be a guest, give us some feedback or just ask a question then you can email us (thesearepolartimes@gmail.com) or tweet APECS @Polar_Research any time- we would love to hear from you.
