Ahoy there and good timezones!
My name is Conrado Acevedo Batiz and I am a new intern aboard the R/V Marcus G. Langseth for the UNOLS-MATE program. I am an oceanographer and seafarer with a passion for exploration and expeditionary research, as of right now my goals are to become a maritime technician for oceanographic research vessels and I hope to one day become an ROV and submersible technician/pilot. I’m incredibly grateful for this internship opportunity and look forward to spending a month at sea learning from the highly skilled technicians and crew that make the RV Langseth such a valuable asset to ocean exploration and research. Cheers and pleasure to meet you!
