I imagine you don't get seasick if you're a marine scientist, probably. I mean, for me, and i'll just say, physically an not as be onest. For this project that i was working out in the forest, it was a challenge. So really thinkig about where you have to collect samples from. When i'm known on my mari scienciv, when i was travelling the country scoop diving everywhere, i was like, there's no way this is real life. Like, i've ben the coolest place i've beenant to this inwey.

Yep -- it’s detective work! But instead of crime scenes, environmental scientist, marine biologist and Forensic Ecologist Dr. Tiara Moore travels the world to sample the sea and the soil looking for the ghosts of larvae past, whispers of frog spit, fungal traces in loamy soil, and the unseen forces that lead to algal blooms and toxic tides. She also is the CEO of #BlackInMarineScience week, which is NOW: Nov. 28-Dec. 04! Follow that hashtag and see the events link below and buckle your life jacket to a spirited chat about finding your calling on tropical seas, labwork, forest fungus, Missy Elliot, sedimentary soil science, straight up racism, the state of allyship, marine science careers, and whether or not she may have found evidence of Bigfoot. I mean.
