  • fun and informative

    I don't know much about ocean science so this podcast is a fun way to approach a new subject. The information is scientific and solid but it's not over my head and the episodes are fairly short so it's not overwhelming. I'm definitely learning a lot.

Fishtein with Dr. Kory Evans
Q: Where do you hope your work goes from here?
My work is currently in a diverse set of research projects, including clownfish skull development and gut microbiome studies.
Fishtein with Dr. Kory Evans

Fishtein with Dr. Kory Evans
Q: Can you talk about that viral experience? Did it change anything about your work or yourself as a scientist?
