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.

2025 marked the 11th year for the St. Petersburg Science Festival and the 30th year for Florida Fish and Wildlife Research Institute's MarineQuest. It was a fantastic opportunity for 1200+ 4th and 5th graders on School Days and 9K+ community members on the Public Day to participate in hands-on activities exploring all facets of STEAM. Kudos to the sponsors, exhibitors, volunteers and Steering Committee for another successful year.
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.
