Saving the Helmeted Honeyeater

Welcome to Pint of Science Australia’s podcast; Pod of Science. 

This time, Ryan Hickmott was by Dr Diana Robledo-Ruiz, Research Fellow at Monash University.  

With a strong passion for wildlife conservation and science communication, Diana is experienced in conducting hard research in the lab, notably with a focus on the endangered helmeted honey eater, then getting out to tell everyone why it matters; most recently at the 2024 International Melbourne Comedy Festival as part of the Future Science Talks show included in this episode’s show notes
