This is a very informative talk with Zack Rago, star of the Netflix film Chasing Coral. We talk about his education and what motivated him to pursue a Ph.D. degree in marine science in Hawaii. But it shouldn't come as a big surprise that there was an event when he was in high school that spurred him on to this love and fascination with the oceans and in particular, the coral reefs.

If you teach high school biology or chemistry, this episode will teach you a lot of practical applications of the content you've always delivered. But with what you hear in this episode, you can now frame your teaching around something that will connect your students to the natural world, a place where they will have an emotional attachment. So be ready to take notes!!

If you haven't seen the documentary Chasing Coral on Netflix and Youtube yet, be sure to watch it. It is a film with stunningly beautiful underwater scenes yet heart wrenchingly horrific scenes of what's going on beneath the ocean's surface due to human influence. And Zack is central to the whole story. You can get to know him here.
