Ocean Decade: A legacy of collaboration

On this episode of The Ocean Decade Show, Taylor interviews her great-grandchild - her John A. Knauss Fellow great grandchild that is! Celina Harris, the current Ocean Decade Knauss Fellow working to organize the growing number of U.S. partners as we're making our way toward the midpoint of the Decade. Celina shared about her journey from academia to attending COP27 in Glasgow, Scotland to her role at NOAA Research now. Taylor and Celina do a lot of compare and contrast - comparing their time working on the Decade in 2020 to today, and the importance of partners in the achievement of the Decade Challenges.
