On today’s episode we chat with Elaine Krebs (@elaine.explains), science educator and recent Antarctica explorer!

Do you ever wonder what kind of science happens in Antarctica?

Elaine received her master’s degree in Marine Biology and Environmental Biology from the University of Southern California. One of her current endeavors with the help of PolarTREC has allowed her to do what many only dream of, explore Antarctica.

In this episode, Elaine shares with us what lead her to becoming a science educator and end up doing research in Antarctica. She shares the most exciting travel stories about how she made it to Antarctica, how cold it was, what it was like being there and how she got to study tiny particles called Neutrinos with the IceCube Neutrino Observatory team!

So chill out, relax and join D Hunter and Elaine in their conversation!
