Meet the speakers
Dr. Gemma Connell
Youth Engagement Lead | Ocean Generation
Dr Gemma Connell runs our Wavemaker programme across the UK and beyond. Prior to joining Ocean Generation, Gemma spent 15 years in the performing arts industry as a choreographer, theatre maker and producer before switching to a career in science communication. Despite working for an Ocean charity, she's not a very strong swimmer but is a little bit obsessed with sting rays!
Will Steen
Marine Science Officer | Ocean Generation
Will Steen is our Marine Science Officer, basically just a fancy way of saying fish nerd. He has a master's in marine biology from Southampton, and experience as a PADI Divemaster. He prefers to be below or on the water, but when forced to be on land he is mostly happy talking about the sea and the things in it. Despite a love for sailing, surfing, SCUBA and sibilance, like Gemma he is not a strong swimmer without his fins. He justifies this by asking if you have seen a fish swim well without its fins.
