We’ve done our science dive, and now it’s time to decompress and discuss tales at sea, career paths and the social & political aspects of deep-sea science.
We’ve done our science dive, and now it’s time to decompress and discuss tales at sea, career paths and the social & political aspects of deep-sea science.
In our first ever episode, we talk to Kat Bolstad, the leader of the AUT lab for cephalopod ecology and systematics (ALCES) at Auckland University in New Zealand.
We talk about squid Christmas, chasing the colossal squid, Kat’s career journey and her truly incredible record of being the deepest lactating human (we think). She also tells us how she once made a liar out of Sir David Attenborough.
We are so excited about creating this space to talk more about the human aspects of deep-sea science, and would love to hear from you about your deep-sea journey!
We want to say a huge thank you to those patrons who have already pledged to support us.
Thanks again for tuning in, we’ll deep-see you next time!
