theoceanrolls asked: Hi, I sent you an ask on your nudibranchs blog because I couldn't find your ask button but I found it ahaha. I want to be a marine biologist when I'm older, and go to Plymouth university like you did, but I'm not very good at maths, I should get a C at GCSE. For A level I'm going to be doing biology chemistry geography and spanish. Is the maths very difficult in marine biology?...

I am going to college to do a Applied Science course then a HNC in Biomedical Science then Aberdeen University to do Marine Biology or Conservation Biology hopefully! Should be out saving my...

zobhana-deactivated20130425 asked: My high school offers an average level Marine Biology course but no one really takes it seriously. Though I want to go into the marine biology or conservation field, I've opted to take AP Biology my junior year and AP Environmental Science my senior year because I don't want to be in a class with people who aren't going to really care as much as I do. Do you think it would be better...

ydykyt asked: Hi Samantha :) I love your blog even though marine biology terrifies me. I'm more of a terrestrial ecologist. Still though, I was wondering what you think about taking further studies at university vs getting practical experience? I'm currently in my third year of uni in Australia and will either be doing an honours year or working in my field next year. I'm not that interested in...

shekkung asked: Hello, Samantha! May I ask for your opinion abt working for government and working for NGO? In your opinion, which one is better? I'm somewhat confused abt my future after I graduate as a Bachelor in Biology. I want to work for a year first, at least, before applying for my master. Thanks :)

ryulongd asked: I found out the issue as to why I was not logged in. :) I know sometimes people don't see fan mail, but I am the one who is the graduate of UMiami's Marine Science program (I know you've probably seen me say this like 3 times already, but I can never be sure as to what message goes through with the trouble I was having). It's always nice to have another marine scientist on my...

Anonymous asked: Hi, I've been following you for a while, and I saw that one of your followers was asking you about UMiami's marine biology program. I graduated from their marine science program in 2009 (I ended up in marine chemistry instead of marine biology) and I would not trade my experiences for anything in the world. I had amazing professors and the marine science research facilities on the...

hazeltoe1992 asked: I'm studying Marine Biology at this moment in time and i've just finished my first year. ~I discovered your tumblr a while ago, and i was wondering. Does writing in third person past tense become a habbit?
megaleen asked: This may be a silly question, but I am going on a snorkeling trip in the keys in a few weeks, and I was hoping you could give me some safety advice. I have found plenty of information on what to do if you find yourself in the water with sharks, but what if you find yourself in the water with dolphins? I know they are suposed to be friendly and all but they are big and strong and a bit scary to me...
