Marine Biologist

Marine Biologist

Southampton, UK

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!

I had a tiny creature burrow into my leg when I was a child. This was in Nags Head North Carolina. I have a bump inside my leg where this happened. It was so fast I couldn't stop it. Any ideas of what it could have been. It happened 26 years ago.
