Book Birthday! INTO THE DEEP

Today Into the Deep: Science, Technology, and the Quest to Save the Ocean celebrates its book birthday. I’m so excited that you finally get to read about all the fabulous scientists I was privileged to meet. Their work is fascinating, and I appreciate their enthusiasm (and their patience as they explained their research). I’ll be profiling some of them in my social media in the coming days, so be on the lookout for that.

A resource page for the book is forthcoming—today or tomorrow, depending on how fast I type! This book is available in library binding and on Kindle/Nook.
