Hamish Tweed, technical diving instructor and team lead for the Deep Glass Sponge Research Team (@deepglasssponge on Instagram/Facebook) joined to talk about their efforts to document the rare glass sponge reefs off the coast of British Colombia. Hamish was the subject of the documentary Moonless Oasis (check out episode 15 of TBFY In Conversation) and continued the conversation about these amazing creatures, the challenges and rewards of diving to visit them and the importance of protecting these habitats.

Bradley van Paridon

Brad was a scientist. He did a Ph.D studying mind controlling parasitic worms. Now he writes for magazines, produces podcasts and teaches scientists how to better communicate their work. His philosophy is that the science community can lighten up and speak like the normal people they are. Everyone can and should understand the knowledge scientists create because it is society's job to decide what to do with that information.
