      Well, it’s up to you, but you should vote for the person who is the very best at communicating science! So, ask some questions, learn lots of really interesting stuff and then make up your mind. If you don’t want to do that though, you could always just vote for me though!

      Haha that’s a really good question! Well I hope that I’m providing answers that might be of some use to you all, I really like interacting with students about science, and in my after-school program, I love showing the students that science isn’t about learning off big words or formulas, it’s all about being curious, asking questions, and being willing to learn and open your mind. Theres just so much we don’t know, we need lots of people to try help us find the answers!

      Hi again Dara! Well, like Shane said, it’s all up to you 🙂 To be fair, there’s some great scientists in this competition who are really great and passionate at communicating science so it’s going to be a tough one. Just pick the scientist who is most passionate and who can best communicate science and who makes it most fun and exciting for you 🙂 Now, why should you vote for me? because the ocean is awesome and I really want to do great things for it. It’s going through some tough times and so it’s my aim to hep protect it, but I can only do that by communicating (mostly to kids and young adults) it’s beauty and the problems concerning it. The money that you give my project will help achieve this goal 🙂 vote for me 😉 Surprisingly, we rarely get that question… so thanks for asking!
