Confessions of a Marine Biologist - OFFICIAL Trailer | SciAll.org

Adventures aren't only in storybooks – I live them in remote locations, surrounded by wildlife, where I try to unlock nature’s mysteries (and try to survive to tell the tale).

The information I memorized in my science classes seemed to be useless to my life. What I thought was ‘science’ bored me — being a marine biologist never even entered my radar as a career option.

Since then, my career in science has taken me on many adventures, from sailing expeditions across the Pacific Ocean to doing field research and teaching science in French Polynesia and the Caribbean. I went from hating science as a kid, to earning my PhD in marine biology, by discovering the best kept secret I’ve ever known: science is true adventure.
