Male, 25

After doing an undergraduate degree in marine biology, I'm now doing a marine biology PhD in the UK at the National Oceanography Centre, Southampton. I love what I do, but, contrary to popular belief, very few marine biologists actually swim with dolphins or spend their days scuba diving. In my spare time I edit a blog on marine science. Below is a link to a blog post I wrote on why I dread telling people I'm a marine biologist. I recommend that you check it out!

Do I need to do Physics in high school to become a Marine Biologist? I'm thinking about dropping it because it's challenging and makes me nervous for some reason. However, I am doing Chemistry, Biology, Maths and Geography though.
