Podcast Appearance
You can listen to my appearance on Nature in a Nutshell, the CIEEM (Chartered Institute of Ecology and Environmental Management) where I discussed the integration of AI into ecology.

Media Coverage
In March 2025, I was invited to take part on a panel at Wildscreen, chaired by Liz Bonnin. The panel was titled ‘AI, an altruist’s guide’, where we discussed where AI fits in with storytelling, and the effects it may have on scientific media.
In May 2025, the University of Cambridge published a feature review on my research on the intersection between AI and Conservation science. Myself and Professor Chris Sandbrook, discuss the potential benefits and the inevitable risks.
In November 2025, the University of Cambridge published a video about the University’s contribution to COP30. I only feature in a small way, but it is great to be included in these conversations!
