Bio
Watch Lauren Linsmayer, marine biologist and Ph.D. student at the Scripps Institution of Oceanography in San Diego, share how persistence and an early love of marine life led to a summer internship at a marine lab and eventually to her current work studying the effects of ocean acidification on coral reefs. Although a cool part of studying the ocean can include swimming with dolphins and traveling to exotic locations like the Galapagos Islands, the most important reason she became a marine biologist was to help protect and preserve the health of the oceans and marine life.
