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.

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
From the (sea) horse's mouth... People interested in becoming marine biologists often ask me what classes they need to take to pursue this career. But the path to marine biology as a profession is far from ‘one size fits all’. In addition to the classes I mention in the video, I would also suggest taking some general marine science classes,
From the (sea) horse's mouth... Science may have bored you in school, but it is literally THE reason our society persists today. The process of science underlies nearly every facet of modern life that we hold dear, and you engage in this process every day. However, for science to provide critical support to all of humankind, we must embrace this
From the (sea) horse's mouth... Sharks, whales, dolphins, corals — it’s all part of the game. But there’s more to marine biology than adventures with wildlife in the field. It takes dedication and a thirst for discovery to keep you writing successful grants, publishing influential research, and pushing forward our collective knowledge of marine life!

From the (sea) horse's mouth... Looking to dedicate yourself to adventure and uncovering mysteries of the ocean? Marine biology might be for you – here’s the first step, no matter your age. The most common question I get from aspiring marine biologists is: “Where do I start?”, followed closely by: “What school/college/university should I attend?”, “What major should I have?”,
