About the event
Off Norway’s coast, right on the Arctic Circle, the cold clean waters around the little island of Træna produce fine seaweed, which the Northern Company harvests and sells. The company’s founder, Zoe Christiansen, describes its sea and laboratory work, in a small fishing community of less than 500 people, amidst spectacular scenery and northern light.

First, we have an 8-minute video which you can watch any time from 10.45 onwards, and also afterwards, with Zoe showing seaweed-gathering and seaweed recipes.
After the film, there’s an opportunity for live questions to Zoe. You can watch from the link below, or if you’d like to send in a question, you can also go direct to it in the Science Festival’s YouTube channel
If you want to text in questions via YouTube LiveChat while the event is under way, you just need to set up a YouTube account, which is free. This means you can save the videos to your favourites and re-watch at your leisure.
