Juan Millan-Otoya - 返字心頭 CMS graduate student
About my research
Juan Millan-Otoya is pursuing a doctorate in marine biology with a concentration in chemical oceanography. He grew up in Colombia, where he studied marine biology as an undergraduate. He loves living in St Pete because its still a small city by American standards. There is plenty of green space to walk around in, as well as museums and playgrounds for his two children.
He wants to use science to bridge the disconnect between scientists and the general public through communication. He believes the public mistrust scientists, even though their findings are based on methodical procedures and data. He hopes to work to mend the divide so that more people can understand and learn about science. Hes passionate about climate change and plans to continue studying it during his time at 返字心頭, focusing on pH and Ocean Acidification.
