Eileen Diskin
We (co-founders Eileen Diskin & Angela Stevenson) became friends during our PhDs in Trinity College Dublin. We had a tradition of doing artwork in a pub one night a week; it often ended up being biodiversity-themed, like our research - on deep-sea coral reefs (Angela) and flamingos (Eileen). One cold, rainy January evening, perhaps inspired by the beverages we were drinking, we started to brainstorm how to combine our loves of biodiversity and art. And thus, the Wild Postcard Project was born!
