Submarine Science - Dr. Milton Love, UCSB

Dr. Milton Love on what he’s learned on his voyages into the
unexplored depths of the deep, blue Pacific Ocean. ::!!:: Join

http://eepurl.com/gRUCZL ::!!:: Milton - only his closest
associates call him Dr. Love - has carried on an affair with the
sea for most of his life. Unlike most love affairs, though, this
one included nearly 15 years at 1,200’ below the surface of the
waves in the Delta - a two person submarine. Though the Delta is
long gone, converted to more flowerpot and less research
facility, Milton is still hard at work. In addition to writing
massive tomes with names like “Certainly More Than You Want to
Know About Fishes of the Pacific Coast,” he’s published widely in
his field, in popular magazine and, sometimes, he even does an
experiment or two. Our conversation with him ranged from the role
of observation versus theory in science, to how to be comfortable
with uncertainty, to how true expertise requires constant
revision. At the very end, he wraps it up succinctly: “A
sustainable human future requires deep abiding respect for the
oceans. Nature has an unlimited number of ways to end you or any
lifeform.” Subscribe & like so we can keep bringing the best
