Dr. Anna George grew up wondering what was going on under the water's surface, and after a month-long scuba camp in the Cayman Islands, she never looked back.

In this episode, Dr. George shares what it was like receiving and overcoming countless rejections from advisors while pursuing her PhD and how she merged her passion for aquatic biology and educating others into her perfect career. We also get an inside look at the operations of the Tennessee Aquarium and its local conservation efforts.
