Season 2
Episode 3
Rosa Hunter, lab manager at the Salish Sea Research Center, wants aspiring young scientists to know it’s never too late. Hunter dropped out of high school in the 10th grade and worked many jobs before jumping head first into college at age 32. Her studies led to her work in the sea, where she realized that her grandmother’s guidance clamming as a child could inform her work.
