In this series, hosts Lee Murphy from the University of Edinburgh, and Charli Corcoran from the University of Stirling, meet technicians from across Scotland who are driving sustainability in their institutions.

In the third episode, we ask our guests if the work that technicians are doing in their institute is visible (and visibly done by technicians) and what recognition they are given for the work they are doing - which, remember, is often not part of their job descriptions.

Michael Capeness, Laboratory Manager, University of Edinburgh

Marie Ann Pringle, Technical Manager, University of the West of Scotland

Zephyr Liddell, Print and Dye Technician, Glasgow School of Art

Abby Ireland, Teaching Technician, University of Glasgow
