“Being a member of the OCEAN team allows me to contribute to a mission I can believe in. Acknowledging that there is a need to change the ‘complexion’ of environmental science is the first step toward increasing BIPOC representation in this field. This program is a unique opportunity to meet scientists from diverse, ethnic backgrounds who actively contribute to environmental science and are leaders in their research fields” - Charles

"Being a part of the OCEAN team means a lot to me. BIPOC aren't well represented in the field of science so to be a part of a program that gives a voice to the unheard is great. Not only does OCEAN give a platform to highly decorated scientists in their field, but it also shows other BIPOC that they are able to excel in the STEM field regardless of the lack of representation" - Eden
