From the (sea) horse's mouth... If you’ve ever wondered what it would be like to be a marine biologist, working in harsh, unforgiving conditions, to reveal insights that help us understand (and, thus, better protect) valuable marine ecosystems, then this is the channel for you. I will show you this secret world, behind the scenes, and, in doing so, I’ll
From the (sea) horse's mouth... This is often a point of confusion, in part because there are MANY different kinds of scientists and MANY different ways we can get paid. Here I break it down for you, but keep in mind there is a ton of variability out there. If you have additional specific questions about this topic, please leave
From the (sea) horse's mouth... What do you get when you take heads of state, leading tech entrepreneurs, cutting-edge scientists, visionary artists, and tireless social activists, and you put them all together for a 4-day conference? The answer is a TED conference, and the one I just went to changed my life. This is an event where ideas are KING
From the (sea) horse's mouth... My answer may surprise you, because it’s not a topic that marine biologists (or any scientists) often bring up, when they’re speaking about their job. It turns out, there much more to it than whales, dolphins, sharks, coral reefs, and even saving the world ;). To support my campaign, to share the exhilarating process and
From the (sea) horse's mouth... Many people tell me that they want to be a field biologist (and often a marine biologist, in particular) because they love to travel the world. It is true that you can often travel, sometime extensively, as a scientist, especially if you do field work in remote places of the world, like I do. BUT,
From the (sea) horse's mouth... If you’re a young scientist and you’re struggling with the ‘juggling act’, you’re not alone! But as you juggle, don’t forget to stay true to you. The best scientists I know (marine biologists or otherwise) do this very well. To support my campaign, to share the exhilarating process and invaluable products of science with the
From the (sea) horse's mouth... I just wrapped up teaching a field course to university students interested in getting hands-on research experience. They got that and more, while spending three weeks living and working in Akumal, Mexico. Many of these students plan to become professional marine biologists, while others are going into medicine or dentistry. But all of them share
From the (sea) horse's mouth... Many people want to know how much marine biologists get paid, as in how much the make, salary-wise doing their job. I give you my take in this video, but it’s important to not that this VARIES a lot among jobs, institutions, and locations (e.g., cities, countries, etc.). There are MANY ways to be a
From the (sea) horse's mouth... To improve science appreciation and to inspire future scientists, I created a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization: SciAll.org. Now, through Patreon, you can join me in this mission for just $1 a month — each dollar will help ensure that we reach the masses (including many under-served students, who have not been exposed to the adventures that
