Today I talked with Jordan Lerma, @uheheu on Instagram, a native Hawaiian field biologist for Cascadia Research. We chat about his story breaking into the marine science world from a major in transport economics.

Robin Baird's advice for students who wish to study cetaceans. Robin Baird is a researcher at Cascadia that we discussed in the podcast! This is a great resource for listeners who want to work in cetacean research. Michaela Kratofil's website also has a great resource page to look at!

Check out volunteer and internship opportunities with Cascadia Research here.

If you have photos of cetacean species in Hawai'i you can learn how to submit them and assist in the research here.
