It is hard for me to select my favorite science experience! Whenever I have the chance to go in the field, whether trudging through the mangrove forest, diving on coral reefs, or working on a ship offshore exploring the deep sea, I love it all!
Not only do I get to work in incredibly interesting places on the planet, but I also literally dig into the mud to discover what is living there. I get to work with wonderful scientists from all over the world. This community of scientists, from students to senior researchers, help make the science happen. Through conversations and working together we learn more about our ocean planet.
I also get to use cool technology, like humanoccupied underwater vehicles (small submarines) and research vessels to conduct my work. In this photo, I am scuba diving with Dr. Nicole Cormier in St. John, U.S. Virgin Islands. I am on the left in this photo. The U.S. Virgin Islands are a U.S. Territory located in the Caribbean.
