Seas by Degrees Graduate Student Seminar Series - Episode 11

How long can you hold your breath? Do you feel any physical changes while you do so? PhD student John Sebastiani studies these changes in toadfish when they are exposed to hypoxic, or low oxygen, environments. His research is key to better understanding how marine life and other organisms survive hypoxia.
