Episode Details

From the office to the field, STEMM can be pretty spooky! Join us around the theoretical campfire for some scary tales to celebrate Halloween. From the depths of galleries at night to experiments that just don’t work and voices in the dark on remote islands, Emma Hamasaki, Dr Olly Dove and Dr Kate Johnson talk mishaps and scary things, big and small. 

Whether you’re looking for some fun fieldwork tales, or to delve deeper into the perils of the workplace, from mistakes to burnout and toxic culture, this episode has it all. Come along with us as we share our varied experiences and provide what we hope is some useful advice for navigating the scary world of STEMM and beyond.
