Becca is thrilled to launch into her career as a science writer aboard the G.O. Sars.  She hopes to bring stories of deep sea exploration to the public in order to raise interest about this amazing environment.  Becca is working with Kristen Kusek, the master science writer (she refused to let Kristen edit that part out!), in order to learn all of the tricks of the trade!
