A new episode in the podcast series ZEE is online. THE SCIENTIST (only in Dutch).
Two years ago, Kees Camphuysen and I travelled to the island of Foula, a known seabird paradise. I went there to make the podcast AN EMPTY ISLAND about the island’s last inhabitants. Kees (marine ecologist specialising in seabirds) took a sabbatical and joined me.
But on arrival on the remote island, it turns out there has been an extreme outbreak of bird flu among the seabirds.
The podcast THE SCIENTIST is a live account of carnage. A tough and lonely search for the cause of the outbreak.
