Podcast: “Doing Science at the Aquarium”

Date Aug 7, 2024
Published in At the Aquarium

They may be a lot more fun to visit than a lab, and their employees may not walk around in white coats, but aquariums and zoos are important contributors to scientific research. The combination of ready control of environmental conditions and the opportunity to observe animals without interruptions caused by inclement weather or other factors make them an ideal place for studies to be conducted.

In this week’s episode, we’ll chat with our assistant curator of fishes to learn more about her study into the impacts of ocean acidification on jellyfish and what it was like overcoming her feelings of scientific “imposter syndrome.”

Episode cast

  • Casey Phillips, Communications Specialist and Host
  • Rachel Thayer, Assistant Curator of Fishes
