81. Jessica Pate: Drones, Collaborations, Dream Boats, and Emails from Manta Rays

June 01, 2022 • K. G. Muzia • Episode 81

If you’ve listened to episode 2 of the podcast, you’ve already heard Jessica’s story and the genesis of her research. Today, we start right where we left off in that episode. Jessica shares a few of her many exciting projects including identifying and describing a third species of manta, tagging the mantas, and future projects with guitarfish. We chat about how the manta project has evolved from bowriding to droning, how it's grown from a side project to full time endeavor, and how Jessica’s work was featured in Nat Geo.
