Why did the fish blush? Because he saw the Ocean’s bottom! Yes, that’s how the first “Innovation in the ‘Burg” podcast starts.
Thanks to the St. Pete Catalyst you can now hear about this and other fascinating facts. The St. Petersburg Innovation District has launched a podcast series. This podcast is a fun and entertaining program to introduce the listeners to scientific research and other innovations happening in St. Petersburg. Designed for individuals who might not consider themselves “geeks,” listeners will gain an understanding of innovation and how it impacts their lives.
Hosted by Alison Barlow, Executive Director of the Innovation District, the first podcast features Dr. Mya Breitbart of the USF College of Marine Science and Tee Grizzard of LassiterWare. They talk about bacteria in our water and fish eggs while sharing more fish jokes.

The St Pete Science Festival is looking for volunteers and exhibitors to participate in the February 7 School Day and February 8 Public Festival. This regional celebration of the wonders of hands-on science, technology, engineering, art, and math (STEAM) is a fun event for all ages.
The District's favorite annual event - State of Science and Innovation - is coming up quickly. Be sure to reserve your complimentary ticket. This event features a series of fast-paced presentations by local innovators.
If you have looked behind the Maritime and Defense Technology Hub this week you will see a new visitor - the HOS Mystique. This vessel is assisting with the deployment of two large spar buoys next week offshore in collaboration with USF’s College of Marine Science and USF’s School of Geosciences. The spar buoy is designed to measure very small geodetic motions of the seafloor in order to better predict earthquakes and tsunamis.
