The moon analogy - The Deep-Sea Podcast: Episode 1

Описание: In the very first episode of The Deep-Sea Podcast we let you know who we are and why we felt the world really needed a podcast about the deep sea. Alan rants about how the statement ‘we know more about the moon than the deep sea’ is not just a bad analogy, it’s plain wrong. Thom talks about how the quality of scientific writing is maintained and how peer-review can be tough when you are starting out. Alan also confesses why, after becoming the world’s deepest diving Brit, he looked a little hunched emerging from the sub.
Our guest this episode is Professor Monty Pried, Editors-in-Chief of the scientific journal Deep-Sea Research Part I and a legend of deep-sea research. We talk about seeing biology as ‘smelly engineering’ and spoil everyone’s fun by explaining why Megalodon isn’t hiding in the deep-sea trenches.
