This week I was excited to speak with Brittany Bartlett, Ph.D. student at Oxford and the Co-Founder and President of the non-profit, The Next Swell. I really enjoyed my conversation with Brittany, focusing on her marine biology dreams, both those that are fulfilled and those still in progress. Brittany then dove into her pandemic project, The Next Swell, and the impact she has been able to make through scholarships in marine sciences. We then discuss her next step as a Ph.D. student and the research she will be working on. One quick note, Brittany and I used NGO and non-profit interchangeably, however for legal reasons The Next Swell is considered a non-profit, but not an NGO.

Two quick notes: We do apologize for the sirens outside of Brittany's place throughout the episode. Next week there will be no new episode, please tune back in on January 3rd!
