Marine Scientist & Host of "Black Nerds Matter"
"Come For The Science Stay For The Nerds"
I am Deidric Davis
My Story
I have recently completed my Bachelor's degrees in Marine Science (B.S) and Animals Studies (B.A) from Eckerd College. Through my time as a student I have seen a disparity in representation for Black and Brown students in my field. I am determined to be the change I want to see and show that Black marine scientists exist can make an impact on the world. My goal is get my Ph.D in marine ecology while continuing to produce media for marine science and make discoveries along the way through outreach and research.
Skills
I am a AAUS certified scientific diver with over 3 years of research laboratory experience. I have a one paper published with one in review and two more in progress. I have experience in R & Python programming languages. Multiple speaking engagements that have showcased my public speaking skills and networking ability. I have extensive experience in audio media production, as I independently ran and produced my own podcast.
Interests
When I'm not creating content, diving or collecting parasites in my lab at 4am I enjoy traveling, working out, playing Pokemon, and trying any food I can get my hands on.
