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 thank you for tuning in to another episode of Polar Times!
This week’s episode is with one of our new hosts, Henrietta. She gets chatting to Naomi Chapman, Education and Outreach Assistant at the Polar Museum, part of the Scott Polar Research Institute at the University of Cambridge. Naomi is a museum educator-extraordinaire and here she talks about what it’s like to teach people about the polar regions every day. Naomi has been involved in some amazing projects and she tells us about her work on everything from a co-curated exhibition to a one-of-a-kind fabric map of Antarctica (complete with Lake Vostok silk-pocket!). Stay tuned for some advice for people interested in non-academic polar careers and to see if you can shed some light on a question from a primary school child that no one seems to know the answer to…
For everything from educational videos to polar sewing projects, check out the Polar Museum’s awesome teaching resources here:

If you do have anything you’d like to tell us, no matter how big or small, please do get in touch via email (therearepolartimes@gmail.com) or tweet APECS (@Polar_Research). We’d love to hear from you!
