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

Sense of the Arctic: Episode 3

Friday Jan 20, 2023

Welcome back for the third episode of Sense of the Arctic, a podcast miniseries from the APECS Science and Diplomacy Project Group in collaboration with Polar Times.

In this episode, we had the pleasure of chatting to two members of the organization Ikaarvik, Justin Sigluk Milton, who is from Mittimatalik (Pond Inlet), Nunavut, now living in Ottawa, and Shelly Elverum, currently living in Mittimatalik.

We spoke about Ikaarvik and the importance of community-driven research, as well as what Qaujimajatuqangit is. They also spoke about a couple of key points and actions to take when thinking about doing research in the north.

Here are some of the links spoken about during the podcast:
