Get ready to dive deep into the world of marine science and environmental DNA with Dr. Tiara Moore, an accomplished environmental ecologist and postdoctoral researcher at The Nature Conservancy. But that's not all - Tiara is also a fierce advocate for a safe and inclusive workplace for black people and women of color. In this compelling rebroadcast of Rising Sea Voices, Tiara shares her journey from an undergraduate course in Costa Rica to scuba diving in Indonesia and French Polynesia. Her research uses eDNA to assess biodiversity and guide restoration efforts, and she shares her expertise with host Felicia Olmeta-Schult. But Tiara's work goes beyond scientific research, and she is the founder of A WOC SPACE and Black In Marine Science (BIMS), organizations that promote diversity and inclusion in marine science.
