  • It's the 100th episode (well, technically, the 100th upload!) of the Coffee & Geography podcast! We've been on an incredible journey, with Kit Marie speaking to over 100 people from over 22 countries.

    The weekend of the 100th release coincided with the weekend after the Geographical Association Annual Conference 2024, so Kit Marie took the opportunity to grab as many previous podcast guests, in person, for a quick chat and a 'We are all Geographers' baton chain! Kit Marie also gives their introspective thoughts on the milestone.

    Let's catch up with:

  • Kit Marie and Ayesha Tandon brew up a hot drink and chat about the social factors that impact migration, culture and identity through food, early careers and diverse voices in science, climate journalism, being sporty in a sporty family, and more!

    Science journalist at Carbon Brief. Ayesha is the 3rd generation of woman to study physics in her family. But the first person in 3 generations not to get a PhD! Stepping away from research (with full support from my family) was a big decision for Ayesha, but definitely the right one. Her work in climate science communication is a much better fit! As well as writing, Ayesha am super lucky that I get to go to conferences, meet cool scientists, and even did some fieldwork in Thailand last year. She has also worked on improving global south representation in climate journalism.

  • Kit Marie and Dave Wynn have a late night brew and chat about climate advocacy, admiration for 2000AD comics, learning the harp, stereophotography, and more! Stay tuned to the end of the episode for a special musical treat.

    A/S/L Dave? Old, neutered, lost. An old joke, but getting more accurate by the year. Otherwise, climate advocate, stereo-photographer, and harpist, and hopes he is small part of the solution to the Climate Emergency.

    CW: We explore themes of fascism, violence and oppression through the medium of fiction, particularly comic books and graphic novels.

  • Kit Marie is joined by Sam and Simon Fox to chat about science communication, school trips, Essex origins, the amazing Youth STEMM Award, and more!

    Dr Samantha Fox is a scientist and social entrepreneur. She spent many years hanging out with plants at The John Innes Centre, an independent, international centre of excellence in plant science, genetics and microbiology. These days she spends most of her time running the Youth STEMM Award CIC, a skills award she co-founded (with Simon), to support and inspire the next generation into Science, Technology, Engineering, Maths and Medicine (STEMM). She’s on a mission to make sure everyone, no matter their background, gets a chance to explore STEMM and consider if a career in STEMM could be for them.

    Dr Simon Fox is currently Deputy Principal at East Norfolk Sixth Form College, and co-founder of the Youth STEMM Award CIC, a skills award to support and inspire young people into science, technology, engineering, maths and medicine. After undertaking his PhD at the John Innes Centre he trained as a teacher at UEA, has worked in 5 schools and colleges across Norfolk and been in educational leadership for over 15 years, including five as Principal of a Norfolk secondary school. He has been heavily involved in STEMM outreach throughout his career, and is a champion of increasing diversity and representation in the workforce.
