It was at the MARINE Colloquium (Monterey Area Research Institutions' Network for Education). It was super fun day and with a lot of good workshops!
The MARINE Colloquium is mostly for the grad-students in the Monterey area and we practice talks, give each feedback and can participate in a bunch of early career workshops. It is a great organization and a super fun day.
Last year I gave a "ignite talk" about my research in Israel. That was 5 min speed talking while the slides in the powerpoint are changing on a timer.
This year, I switched gears and went for a "TED-style" talk, and ended up telling some stories about my scientific diving experience.
This was a super fun talk to make and very easy since it is what I love to do. When we dive for science to collect data and what not, we put ourselves out in the elements. We push ourselves to go that extra distance. Should we do that? Can we do that? And how are we able to this?
I love diving and I love diving with a purpose. With the proper training and practice you can push your limits quite far.
