The other week I gave an interview for BBC Radio Wales` Science Cafe programme.
As part of their episode on the Bangor University Science Festival I was asked to talk about some of our latest research on wetlands.
Here`s the link to the interview which was on the BBC Science Cafe on March 11, 2014: BBC Science Cafe.
I enjoy doing publicity work like this; it allows me to use some of the skills I learnt during my years as a journalist, and it helps highlight the importance of wetlands.
Wetlands, especially in the UK, rarely get the limelight other "sexier" ecosystems do; such as forests and mountains - but I'd like to help change that.
Our wetlands control so much of our lives - both on a local and global scale.
They are the breeding and feeding grounds for countless species, they can prevent flooding, clean our water and even help control our climate.
Indeed, I'd argue, our very existence depends on wetlands.
So yes; I'm always happy to tell people how great our wetlands are!
