Jonathan Teague is the winner of the Marine Zone, after receiving the most votes from students! He wins £500 to spend on more science engagement activities.

Here’s what he had to say about his victory:

Wow I am blown away, thanks to all the students that voted for me to win the Marine Zone!  A big shout-out to all the students for posing such interesting and engaging questions. Your curiosity kept me on my toes, and I thoroughly enjoyed the conversations.

I would also like to thank all the teachers, my fellow scientists, the team at I’m a Scientist (especially the mods!) and the funders for making it happen. 

I am looking forward to developing my marine school resources that will be funded with this prize money, hopefully some of you will get to see them soon. 

To all the students involved in the marine zone, I hope you all can take away a hint of what its like to work as a marine researcher and I hope we have shown that there are many different pathways to get to where you want to be in life you just have to have passion and a little drive to get there!
