Previous Previous post: [Sci Comm] Is this…? I think it is…? No, wait! What?

Who am I?

My name is Mei Lin, born & raised in Singapore. I have also earned my nickname as the Giant Clam Girl, because I study this massive shellfish that grows up to 1-m long!

Passionate about the natural world since my childhood, I am an avid champion for marine conservation, education & outreach.

I write about my research, marine conservation issues, science communication, and of course – the Giant Clam!
