Description
Join Rising Sea Voices’ host Felicia Olmeta-Schult and Dr. Tiara Moore, environmental ecologist and postdoctoral researcher at The Nature Conservancy, to learn more about environmental DNA (eDNA) and the struggles of being a young black woman in marine science. In this episode, the upbeat Tiara explains falling in love with the ocean and its inhabitants thanks to an undergraduate course involving a trip to Costa Rica. She never looked back since, and her studies and research led her to scuba-dive in Indonesia and French Polynesia. Her former Ph.D. research (marine) and current post-doctoral work (terrestrial) both use eDNA to assess the biodiversity of entire ecosystems that will help guiding restoration efforts. Tiara is not only an accomplished scientist but also a fierce and inspiring advocate for a safe and inclusive workplace for all Black people and women of color. She is the founder of A WOC SPACE and Black In Marine Science (BIMS). The second BIMS Week is around the corner (Nov. 28 – Dec. 4) and you won’t want to miss it!
