Students Learn About Becoming a Marine Biologist

Clearspring Elementary School in Damascus, MD held their career day on June 30, 2013. Susan Baker spoke to around 70 4th grade students about marine science. She illustrated life as a marine biologist by telling stories about her time in the ocean. A hand poll indicated about 2/3 of the students would consider becoming marine scientists when they are older. For more information, contact Susan.Baker@noaa.gov.
