Listen to Lizzy chat with Jesse on her PHD, her scholarship and how life deep in the sea was analysed through museum specimens and real-world sea bound investigations.

Lizzy Myers - of Ngā Puhi and Te Rarawa - studied deep-sea fishes for her PhD in marine ecology.

Her research took her as far north as Rangitāhua/Kermedec Islands, and to the sub-Antarctic seas of the Auckland Islands.

In 2016 she was granted the $10,000 Museum Scholarship created by the Kawharu Foundation and Auckland Museum - to go towards it.

Applications for the scholarship open each year. Please see the Auckland Museum Scholarship page.
