Congratulations to Jo Slavitz, who has been selected as one of only 10 NOAA Teachers at Sea nationwide this year! Beginning July 16, Jo will embark on a 23-day research voyage in the Aleutian Islands of the Bering Sea, where she will work alongside scientists conducting real-world marine research and data collection.
As part of the program, Jo will share her experiences through a NOAA blog, giving students, families, and community members a firsthand look at life aboard a research vessel, marine science in action, and the many STEM careers that support ocean research. NOAA's goal is to inspire the next generation of scientists and problem-solvers through authentic scientific experiences.
