Women in Polar Tourism

March 7, 2018 /

The International Association of Antarctic Tour Operators–or IAATO–founded in 1991, advocates and promotes the practice of safe and environmentally responsible travel to Antarctica.

I first joined this community in 2017, attending the AECO/IAATO Polar Field Staff Conference to pitch the FjordPhyto Citizen Science project.  This group of people amazed me with their strength and camaraderie, and love for not only Antarctica, but all wild places on Earth.

During the week leading up to International Women’s Day (2 – 8 March) IAATO is celebrating Antarctic women who lead by example, are advocates for change and are instrumental in delivering our mission of safe, environmentally responsible polar travel.

I am honored to have been asked to do a Question & Answer session as one of their features on polar scientists involved with tourism.

Fifth Month of Grad Life

November 19, 2016 /

Hello! I completely bailed on making a recap video for month three and month four of grad life (coming soon). That’s because…well, grad life.

We are nearing the end of month five and I felt inspired to get back on the ball (or am heavily procrastinating on writing my term papers), so here is the latest recap video of our fifth month in graduate school.

Make sure to watch what we did during our first and second month.

To remind you all, I’m in the Master of Advanced Studies program at Scripps Institution of Oceanography studying Marine Biodiversity & Conservation. Its an amazing interdisciplinary program focusing on economics, policy, and social constraints and I highly recommend it!

I apologize in advanced for the incredibly choppy audio stitching–I clearly need to take a media productions class some day–but I wanted to at least share the content of how our month has progressed.

Thank you so much for watching!

Don’t forget to follow Woman Scientist for more inspiration on Facebook, YouTube, Twitter and Instagram.

Also, if you get out in the field for work, we’d love to share your career journey. Click this link to fill out the interview and inspire others to go in to science!
