Join biologist and TV presenter, Gillian Burke, as she weaves science and storytelling to muse on the pull of the sea, and how it inspires adventure, creativity and a deep sense of planetary connection. A heart-warming blend of storytelling and science for the whole family.
Whether from the natural world or the human world, she is drawn to the rich vein of stories that are full of universal themes of awe and wonder, defeat and victory, struggle and survival. As a scientist, Gillian is committed to tracking down and sharing evidence of hope. It’s why she defiantly remains an optimist (on most days).
Gillian presents on the BBC's much- Springwatch series alongside hosts Chris Packham, Michaela Strachan, Iolo Williams & Megan McCubbin. Gillian lives in Cornwall where she hosts her podcast, If I Ruled the World, available on Spotify and Apple podcasts.
