We want to get your thoughts 💭💭💭💭💭

🤔 What art 🎨 and marine science 🌊 topics would you want to learn about from experts ❓❓

🔊Ask yourself: If there were a marine scientist or artist in front of me, what would I want to know?

Thinking about pursuing marine biology? 🌊🐚

Here are a few things I wish I knew earlier — especially as someone who didn’t grow up near the ocean! 🩵

💡Remember: the ocean is for everyone, and you can be the representation you want to see!

In a world where science isn’t always given the support it deserves, your voice and your dreams are more important than ever. 🌎

Whether you’re just starting your journey or already making waves, your work matters.

You don’t need a podium, a PhD, or a platform to share your love for science. Sometimes, impactful conversations happen in the checkout line or on your walk home.

The world needs more science storytellers like you! Let your passions flow.
