Earth Day feat. Mike Sweet

This Earth Day, we’re joined by coral scientist, professor and molecular ecologist, Prof Michael Sweet. He chatted to us about coral reefs – indispensable pillars of the marine environment – and some of the research he’s been doing to explore and understand the microbial relationships that underpin them. PLUS: you’ll hear about culturing the 'un-culturable' in the lab, restoring reefs, Ocean Optimism, sci-fi that has become (or is becoming) scientific reality, and MORE... So, tune in and join us as we level up our knowledge of the natural world, and why it needs protecting, this Earth Day. Image courtesy of Prof Michael Sweet
