The So You Want to Be a Marine Biologist podcast is here for those who ever dreamed of becoming a marine biologist. We share your love for the sea and curiosity to know more about the ocean and its denizens. On the podcast, we chat with people who are working hard to protect our oceans and the creatures within her realm. We break scientific jargon and important research concepts down into bite sized chunks. We show the real side of being a marine biologist, what it takes to get there, and what it takes for all of us to help protect our oceans.
So you want to be a marine biologist?
Welcome aboard.
