Episode 265: The Seaweed Sommelier

That’s What I Call Science

Don’t you just hate it when you’re out for a lovely swim in the ocean when all of a sudden your stomach starts rumbling? Well, thanks to one researcher at the Institute for Marine and Antarctic Studies, we might be closer to understanding what snacks are out there in the waters of lutruwita/Tasmania!

Micah Landon-Lane joins Olly for today’s episode, in which he tells her all about sea grapes: seaweed with the appearance of grapes and the potential for deliciousness. Alongside his PhD, Micah also advocates for living wages for PhD candidates, including being a founder of the group Fair Go for PhDs. Tune in to hear all about it!
