Back to some vlogging! Join me as I look for stingrays while expressing some recent thoughts I've had on marine biology as a career. Being a marine biologist is complicated - if you love the ocean it's great getting to do fieldwork and to discover new things. BUT, if you want to spend most of your time actually trying to protect the ocean through direct conservation efforts, most marine biology jobs don't really support that.
