Dr. Susannah Cass learned to row at Cambridge University where she says it was near impossible to make it through your degree without being dragged to a boathouse to give rowing a go. This self-titled accidental athlete is a scientist interested in plants and other wildlife whose love of “messing about in boats” opened her up to adventures like the Celtic Challenge (150km across the Irish Sea), Great Pacific Race (2,400nm), and Row2Rio (London to Rio). COVID-19 has put a damper on her travel, but Susannah is now looking for new ways to link her love of boats and biodiversity.
