Professor Ken Norris is the Director of Science at the Zoological Society of London (ZSL). Ken leads ZSL's Institute of Zoology, which is the world’s only university in a zoo and he also oversees the vet teams who look after the welfare of animals at London and Whipsnade zoos.

We talk about his exciting career in conservation science and he shares his advice for someone looking to secure a PhD as part of the academic route into conservation. As always, it’s a wide-ranging career-boosting episode!
