On this episode, I am joined by Dr. Laurie Juranek, an Assistant Professor in the College of Earth, Ocean, and Atmospheric Sciences at Oregon State University. Dr. Juranek studies what the chemistry of seawater tells us about life and death in the ocean. Her research takes her from the warm, aquamarine waters off of Hawaii to the ice-covered Arctic Ocean. When not doing science, she enjoys vegetable gardening, cooking, and weightlifting.

Segment 3: Broader Impacts of Researching in the Arctic [22:18-33:25]
In segment three, Laurie discusses some of the ways she frames the broader impacts of her research, particularly for grant applications.
