State of the Scientific Enterprise during COVID-19: Doctoral Student Ben Lowe

How has COVID-19 impacted the scientific enterprise and scientists’ lives? When was the last time you thought about religion and fisheries at the same time? Let’s get right into it. We spoke with doctoral student Ben Lowe about his exploration of how faith and religion play a role in fisheries management and climate change. Science is inherently human – and because of this, we see all dimensions of humanity in science including religion, friendship, and culture. Ben Lowe not only talks about how COVID-19 has affected him and his research, but he explores the concept of how faith and religion have affected fisheries as well.  This episode was made in partnership with the UF/IFAS Office of the Dean for Research.
