Description: Meet Emery Nolasco, an underwater robot engineer at MBARI. The open ocean and deep sea are extremely challenging environments, and MBARI couldn’t do ground-breaking science without our innovative engineers and operations staff to get us there. We’re celebrating Emery and all women in STEM who are paving the way for a new generation of curious problem solvers. In Emery’s words, “We have so many questions, and if we only have one or two or three people answering those questions or coming up with the ideas, we're maybe not capturing all of the different perspectives. You're the person who's going to ask those questions and bring those new ideas to the table. And the world needs that, the world needs you and your perspective and what you bring.” Stay tuned for MBARI’s new video series Navigating STEM, a multimedia, behind-the-scenes look at how MBARI staff has found their way to ocean exploration as a career—and where they’re going from here. The pilot episode will feature Emery and her cutting-edge work outfitting underwater robots for deep-sea missions.
