She discovered the fusion of scuba and science while pursuing her undergraduate degree and has parlayed this fusion into research and her work as an undersea specialist with Lindblad Expeditions.\u00a0Today, Emily joins me to talk about what has led her to where she is today. She shares her experience as a rodeo queen and how she pivoted from horse-related activities to marine science. She discusses how she overcame a bad scuba diving experience and stresses the importance of determination. She talks about how she got her job at Lindblad and explains why it\u2019s okay not to know everything. She talks about Antarctica and shares some of her plans for the future.\u00a0\u201cPeople are just curious, just like me, and they just want to know what you know.\u201d- Emily Newton\u00a0\u201cNature is so powerful in how it affects each of us, I think, and all you need is the opportunity to feel that and to experience that.\u201d- Emily Newton\u00a0This week on Kathy Sullivan Explores:\u00a0\u25cf\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Being a rodeo queen\u25cf\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0The roots of Emily\u2019s interest in marine science\u25cf\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Emily\u2019s experience scuba diving\u25cf\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0The importance of letting people know without shame when you don\u2019t know the answer to a question\u25cf\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Emily\u2019s plans for the future\u00a0Spaceship Not Required\u00a0I\u2019m Kathy Sullivan, the only person to have walked in space and gone to the deepest point in the ocean.\u00a0I\u2019m an explorer, and that doesn\u2019t always have to involve going to some remote or exotic place.
