Clara Bird talks about her educational and career journey from Michigan to Oregon State University, where she is a doctoral student in the College of Agricultural Sciences.

Clara is using drones to film gray whales off the coast of Oregon so she can analyze their body condition and behavior. Before that, she attended Duke University, studied algae in the Mediterranean Sea off Spain, did an internship in Maine, and traveled to Antarctica to study humpback whales.

Hosted by Oregon Sea Grant, this webinar is for students in grades 9-12 who want to explore careers in marine science. Lindsay Carroll, who coordinates Oregon Sea Grant's marine education program, serves as a moderator on this webinar, which was recorded on Oct. 14, 2020.
