Communicators from every reach of the marine science world have been responsible for getting the word out about the Ocean Decade to audiences around the world, from school children visiting aquariums to journalists writing about the climate impacts on the ocean. Our guest this month on the podcast is Dr. Carlie Wiener, the Director of Communications and Engagement Strategy at Schmidt Ocean Institute and one of the co-chairs of the Ocean Decade Strategic Communications Group. In this wide ranging episode we chat about Schmidt’s new research vessel, the role of the Strategic Communications Group, and communicating about the ocean with even the most reticent of audiences.
