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!

Why isn't there any African American marine biologists? As being African American I am truly fascinated with the ocean but see no other black marine biologist. So should I look for another career or is it possible for me to pursue my dream?

I found a piece of tumbled bone, tooth or shell at the ocean. I’m extremely curious as to what it is.
