UKRI Stories | I help our oceans as a research technician in Scotland | 101 jobs that change the world S2 Ep 6 @UKResearchandInnovation | Uploaded November 2023 | Updated October 2024, 14 hours ago.
Heather McConnell supports the research aquarium at the Scottish Association for Marine Science. She makes sure that the aquarium and experiments are running smoothly, and that all the animals are healthy. The projects she's involved in include those looking at the impact of climate change on urchins and developing new technology for sustainable fish farming.

When she first arrived in Oban, she didn't know what she would be doing and a government-run internship was the start of her journey at @SAMSmarinescience. Watch this video for her story.
