I feel...

How do you feel...now, dig deep...how do you FEEL about a world without polar bears, bees or whales? How much should we care about the decline of seagulls who annoy us at outdoor cafés? Are we all in the same boat? Listen to scientists and others philosophizing, talking science and emotions at Fritt Fram, an open day at FRAM - the high north research centre for climate and the environment , in Tromsø, Northern Norway.In this episode we meet Rosemary, Ken and Katherine from the UK chatting and laughing about turning 70, about the past, future and being in the same boat. We talk to marine biologist Pedro Duarte ( Norwegian Polar Institute and member of Fram flagship on Sea Ice), dancer Mathilda Caeyers and producer Marina Borovaya (Ice-9) about whales, climate change and species disappearing. We talk about the link between science, art and emotions.Pedro brings up the neuroscientist Antonio Damasio @damasiousc , who wrote ‘Descartes Error’, where he demonstrates that emotions are essential to rational thinking and normal social behaviour.
