Ever wondered what it would be like to be a #marine #biologist?

In this video, hear from Dr Iain Staniland about his journey to becoming a BAS Marine Biologist and his work in #Antarctica. Iain works in South Georgia researching fur #seals to see if their numbers are increasing or decreasing. He collects the data using GPS trackers, and then brings it back to Cambridge for sophisticated DNA analysis. This #research feeds into Government policy for sustainable fishing in Antarctica.

From early inspirations to choosing the right A levels - watch the video to find out how studying #science and #maths can open up a whole world of #careers.
