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!

Hello David! We'd like to ask you a few questions for a school project. Our topic is to find a subject that is a true issue with our world nowadays. So we chose the bleaching of the Great Barrier Reef. What do you think is a great way to solve this?

A friend of mine gave me what I believe was a brine shrimp over 8 years ago. Although I have NEVER fed this animal nor changed the habitat in which it is living in OVER THE PAST EIGHT YEARS, IT SURVIVES.

How is this possible?
