Webinar: Ocean Expert Exchange

Date/Time: Thursday, December 5, 2024, 1:30 PM EST

ANGARI Foundation and the University of Florida Thompson Earth Systems Institute invite you to their final live Ocean Expert Exchange webinar of 2024! If you have ever dreamed of exotic expeditions and a life of adventure but thought you had to be a scientist to do it, think again! What goes into an expedition is much more complex than most of us realize, and there are fascinating careers in high demand that most people never think about. Tune in Dec. 5th at 1:30 PM ET to journey to the polar seas and beyond with Michele Hoffman Trotter, and find out if you have what it takes to join her in a career of exploration and adventure!

SPEAKER BIO: Michele Hoffman Trotter is a Fellow of the Explorers Club and an award-winning educator with advanced degrees in Marine Science from the University of New South Wales and law from DePaul University. At sixteen, she took her first life-altering breath on SCUBA, and by twenty-three she was a fully hooked PADI instructor. Michele has worked with audiences of diverse backgrounds at Sydney Aquarium and the John G. Shedd Aquarium of Chicago, and has served as a science communicator with several important entities including the University of Alaska College of Fisheries and Ocean Sciences, the United States Coast Guard, Celebration of the Sea and the Hawaii Association for Marine Education and Research. Michele is currently a faculty member at Roosevelt University, School of the Art Institute and Columbia College of Chicago where she teaches a variety of courses from traditional ocean sciences to sustainability classes that encompass law, policy and ethics. At the core of her teaching philosophy is the belief that there is an inner scientist in everyone. Most recently, Michele has been splitting her time between Chicago and Alaska with husband Bob and son Ryan (also avid ocean enthusiasts) who share in her research and travel adventures!
