In this episode, I sit down with Professor Jennifer Verduin, Oceanographer and Pro Vice Chancellor at Murdoch University, with a passion for seagrass. Fresh from an expedition to Antarctica as part of a global leadership program for women in STEM, Jennifer shares what it was like to stand among thousands of penguins, witness icebergs the size of cities, and confront the stark realities of a changing climate.Together, we explore the emotional and scientific impact of seeing global warming up close, the interconnectedness of Earth’s oceans, and how collaboration between scientists and policymakers can help protect our planet’s most fragile ecosystems. From tales of whales and glaciers to reflections on leadership, eco-grief, and hope, this conversation captures both the awe and urgency of protecting our blue planet.
