@ADiaz_PhD Oceanographer. And that’s what I did.

[Sara R. Rivera, PhD @rivera4science]

@mothersinsci @Momademia I wanted to get paid to live on the beach. Now I have a PhD in oceanography. I also like puzzles and understanding how things work.

One thing I miss about SoCal: being close enough to Disneyland to have a random Disney Day when I needed a break from the “real world.” Yes, I would budget for Disney Days as a grad student.
