The animals in the water fascinating.
Most of the ocean world is hidden from our view.
As soon as I found out you can make that your career, I was like I'm into it, like let's do it!
[Music]
My name is Megan
Molinari I'm a junior and I'm a
neuroscience major and I'm also a marine
biology major. I've wanted this major
since I was a little kid I was always
drawn to the ocean and I thought I'll
get me studying like sharks and dolphins
and things I've always been interested in.
In Durham we're so close to the ocean
I get to have so many cool experiences
All my marine biology classes have been
great just because I'm so fascinated by
the ocean I also added the neuroscience
major and that's just because I have a
fascination and brains and consciousness
and I thought it'd be a good mix.
The Career and Professional Success office here
has a website called handshake. I looked
for a research job and got hired by
Chris Hunt to work in his lab. We're
doing a lot of chemistry tests it's all
focused on the ocean. I get to go out on
the boats and collect samples and I
think that research will be very helpful
in the future for me. It's awesome that
in COLSA everyone's here because they
have some type of love of some sort of
science and it's cool to see everyone
coming together being so passionate
about the work they're doing.
The opportunities I've gotten here are
really not found anywhere else for
undergraduates I knew very broadly I
wanted to study the ocean but UNH
has helped me get experience and narrow down
where I want to go when I'm older
