Description

Scientific ocean drilling expeditions are filled with scientists and technicians working long hours over consecutive days to determine the latest discoveries from the deep sea. You wouldn't think there would be much time for fun, but publication specialist Alyssa Stephens shares the importance of balancing time spent on research with meeting people and making social connections. When sailing with Alyssa, you may just end up in an escape room or a flash mob, thanks to her unofficial role as the fun coordinator for ship activities
