Dr Vanessa Pirotta is a wildlife scientist, science communicator and marine mammal expert - pioneering the use of cutting edge technology to aid whale conservation efforts. In non science speak, she is collecting whale snot using drones! I speak to Vanessa about her PhD project, ocean conservation, sharks, dolphin spies and...what on earth she is doing with all that whale snot!
