Marine scientist turned science communicator. Interested in telling ocean and science stories. I also have a YouTube channel. www.mariateixeirapinto.com

The most important thing I can tell everyone that I've learned from being a YouTuber who explains how stuff works is that each and every time I thought "this is common knowledge and doesn't need to be explained" I was wrong.

Marine forests e.g. coral reefs, seaweed banks and seagrass meadows are biodiverse ecosystems, essential for a healthy ocean. However, they are disappearing at unprecedented rates. RESTORESEAS aims at improving marine forests' restoration in the Atlantic coasts. #marineforests

A little bit about me! I'm a former marine microbiologist🌊, now working fulltime as a freelance science communicator and communications consultant. I also like creating ocean-related videos on my spare time for my YouTube channel and social media. Looking forward to connect! #marinebiology #sea
