About this Podcast
HOST: Welcome to our podcast, today we have Dr. Jane Smith, an expert in marine biology and the lead instructor for the new course "Professional Certificate in Microplastics Pollution in East Siberian Sea." Hi Jane, it's great to have you here! GUEST: Hi, thanks for having me! I'm excited to be here and discuss this important topic. HOST: Let's start with your personal experiences. What led you to study microplastics pollution in the East Siberian Sea? GUEST: Well, I've always been passionate about marine conservation. During my research, I realized that microplastics were a growing concern in many oceans, including the East Siberian Sea. I wanted to contribute to finding solutions for this issue. HOST: That's fascinating. Now, can you share some current industry trends related to microplastics pollution? GUEST: Absolutely! There's increasing awareness of the problem, and more organizations are investing in research and solutions. Also, there's a growing focus on developing alternative materials to reduce plastic waste. HOST: What challenges have you faced while teaching or learning about microplastics pollution? GUEST: One challenge is the constantly evolving nature of the subject. New research findings emerge frequently, making it essential to stay updated. Additionally, collecting data in remote regions like the East Siberian Sea can be logistically challenging. HOST: That sounds demanding. Now, let's discuss the future of this field. What do you think the next big breakthrough will be? GUEST: I believe that developing effective filtration systems for microplastics and encouraging widespread use of eco-friendly materials could significantly reduce microplastic pollution in the East Siberian Sea and other oceans. HOST: Thank you, Dr. Smith, for sharing your insights and experiences with us today. It's been a pleasure learning from you. GUEST: Thank you for having me! I hope our conversation has shed some light on the importance of addressing microplastics pollution in the East Siberian Sea.
