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

Polar Alien Hunters

Friday Nov 20, 2020

Today on Polar Times we're talking aliens! By which we mean invasive non-native species of course. Our guests today are Jesamine Bartlett from the Norwegian Institute for Nature Research and Arlie McCarthy of the University of Cambridge and British Antarctic Survey who are the founders of Polar Alien Hunters.

Your host, once again, is Jack Buckingham who will be asking WHAT are invasive species? HOW do they get to polar place? WHY are they bad news and most importantly CAN we do anything about it?

You can check out Polar Alien Hunters' great resources at: www.polaralienhunters.com or find the on twitter @Polar_Aliens
