Video Title:
Career Dives: Live Conversations in Marine Science with Katie Skura
Description:
Next up in our live Career Dives series: meet aquarist Katie Skura! The Smithsonian Marine Ecosystems Exhibit is a special kind of aquarium, where the tanks are kept as similar to the wild environment as possible. This produces animal dynamics that closely mimic what happens in the Indian River Lagoon and the Atlantic coast of Florida. Katie Skura is a key figure in collecting and caring for the hundreds of organisms housed in the aquarium exhibits. Join her and one of our educators to chat about her path to marine biology, working at the Smithsonian as an aquarist, and becoming a scientific diver.
