Directives from the Deep Sea:
What oceanography can teach us about volatility and resilience
How do you fix broken machinery in the middle of the ocean? What is the best treatment for seasickness? When you encounter multiple setbacks, where do you look for solutions?
Join us as deep sea explorer Marley Parker answers these questions and shares behind-the-scenes stories from her work on research vessels. From trouble-shooting technical issues to navigating rough weather to traveling across the globe during a pandemic, Marley illustrates how the challenging nature of oceanography teaches us to be humble, flexible, and resilient - and how these lessons can empower scientific communities under threat.
