Get to know 3 useful concepts for becoming a wiz at physics (a phys-wiz, if you like...?) On this episode we explore how light behaves in water by discussing light scattering, light absorption, and biological florescence. We're joined by podcast regular Ryan Vandermeulen from NASA Goddard Space Flight Centre's Ocean Ecology Laboratory.

This is no time for jokes. In this episode we learn about the realities of climate change and ocean acidification from Dr Katharina Fabricius from The Australian Institute of Marine Science (AIMS). Get your head around the concept of pH (that's power or potential of Hydrogen) with Jamie & Lachlan, then delve into deep discussions about the impact of changing pH on our oceans with Dr Katharina.

It's a fish-eat-plankton world out there! On this episode we unravel the marine food web with Dr Debbie Steinberg from The Virginia Institute of Marine Science and Dr Colleen Durkin from Moss Landing Marine Laboratories. What a great one to listen to on the National Science Week school's theme of Food: Different by Design.

Wahooo! It's National Science Week 2021. Start things off right with the first episode of Actually, it's Phytoplankton!: Planet Ocean. On this episode, we're learning about arts in science. We talk to scientific illustrator Kirsten Carlson about the history of sci-art and the continuing importance of drawing and illustrating in science today. Then we meet Dr Ben Knoerlein (formerly Brown University) to get technical with Virtual Reality and how VR is used in ocean sciences.
