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

Hi from Polar Times! Today's guest is marine biologist/conservation ecologist Jilda Caccavo of the Alfred Wegner Institute (AWI) and the Berlin Centre for Genomics in Biodiversity Research.
Your host once again is Jack Buckingham who chats to Jilda this week about Chilean sea bass a.k.a toothfish, managing fisheries in the Southern Ocean, target catch ratios (more interesting than they sound in Jilda's own words!) and securing scientific funding as an early career researcher!
Email us at thesearepolartimes@gmail.com if you have any questions for polar people or any guest recommendations, or tweet APECS at @Polar_Research.
