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!

Are sharks the only marine animals that bump? As a child swimming in Virginia Beach I remember being bumped twice by something before making my dad swim with me back to shore. It wasn’t a person and it felt medium dog sized. Thanks.
