For this podcast, artist Shezad Dawood was invited to discuss themes connected with his Leviathan project. Here Shezad talks to ecological geneticist Professor Madeleine van Oppen as part of his ongoing research into the connections between ocean conservation, migration and mental health. Van Oppen's work around finding ways to enable coral reefs to adapt better to rapid changes in ocean conditions and her approach to making her findings more accessible to the public have been a key touchstone for Dawood's thinking.

Their discussion introduces van Oppen’s work in Australia's Great Barrier Reef and why it is of interest to Dawood, as well as examining the impact of climate warming and the ethical implications of an interventionist approach.
