On this episode of Field stories, the three co-hosts are FINALLY all back together! This week sit down with Jamie Clark (@seaturtleager instagram), a Sea Turtle Biologist who is working towards her PhD at the Unviersity of North Carolina Willmington. Today we dive into Jamie’s PhD work, which investigates size-at-age relationships and population dynamics of various fish and sea turtle populations using skeletochronology - Fourier Transform Near InfraRed (FT-NIR) and DNA methylation methods. Being a sea turtle biologist is one of the toughest fields to get into, and Jamie discusses her career path and advice for future young scientists of how to get into the field, stressing on her passion for inclusion and equality in the field of stem. We wrap up this episode with a good laugh from Jamie’s field story and we hope you enjoy this episode just as much as we did!
