57. Colin Howe: Caribbean Corals, Getting the Experience, and Tropical Marine Ecology So You Want to Be a Marine Biologist

Colin Howe is a tropical marine ecologist studying corals in the Caribbean. He is also the creator behind the Instagram and YouTube channels @MarineSci4life. In today’s episode, Colin breaks down the difference between a marine ecologist and marine biologist, what research at different career levels can look like, and the importance of experience. Colin also shares his coral research throughout the Caribbean, and why this dynamic ecosystem is his favorite to study, and how both corals and careers can thrive despite- and maybe because of- seemingly adverse conditions.
