So You Want To Work In A Zoo? - Dr. Kirsten Pullen | Zoo And Conservation Careers Podcast

Today is International Day of Women and Girls in Science 2022, and who better to talk to than the Chief Science Officer of Wild Planet Trust?!

In this episode Jo and Ollie will be talking to Dr. Kirsten Pullen, the Chief Science Officer of Wild Planet Trust. Kirsten was previously the Director of BIAZA (that's the British and Irish Association of Zoos and Aquaria), as well as a Research Officer at Paignton Zoo, and the Head of Primates at Bristol Zoo. That's certainly a storied career from zoo keeper to influencing policy for zoo across the UK!

Kirsten went from A levels, to Applied Biology at Greenwich University, before going on to her MSc in Ecology at Bangor University. After studying at degree level Kirsten did City and Guilds qualification - an earlier version of the DMZAA (Diploma in Management of Zoo and Aquarium Animals), while zoo keeping. Then to cap that all off she finished her PhD in Animal Behaviour while at Paignton Zoo.
