On this episode we talk to alumni of the STEMSEAS program(Student Experiences Aboard Ships) started by Sharon Cooper and Jon Lewis. I'm joined in the studio by Emma Robertson, a UMass undergrad who sailed last summer from Woods Hole, MA to Reykjavik, Iceland. Also in the studio are Raquel Bryant and Benjamin Keisling, UMass Geoscience graduate students who have both served as mentors on STEMSEAS cruises. We also hear interviews from Alhasan Alshaarbaf of the University of St. Thomas, and Michael Martins of the University of Alaska Fairbanks.
