episode 3: 3. Diving into Oyster Aquaculture with Adriane Michaelis
Growing up in Michigan, Adriane didn’t always know that she wanted to pursue a career in Marine Biology. In fact, she wanted to be a vet. Her time earning her undergraduate degree at University of Michigan (Go Blue!) put her on a different path.
After pursuing her master’s degree in marine biology, Adriane found herself working as lab manager for University of Maryland’s oyster lab, restoring oysters in the Chesapeake Bay and earning her captain’s license. After a few years of captaining both the lab and the boat, Adriane’s love of people, education, and biology called her to pursue more. She went back to school, this time to pursue her PhD. Adriane now travels the United States and parts of Indonesia, working to integrate knowledge sources related to marine resource management. In this episode, we chat about the merits of grad school, oyster aquaculture, and what it’s like traveling the U.S. in an RV with her two dogs.
