This week Kadie chats with Dr. Maia Sosa Kapur, a Research Mathematical Statistician with the NOAA Alaska Fisheries Science Center. Throughout the interview, we talk about how Maia found her dream career in stock assessment, what the day-to-day and season-to-season look like for stock assessment work, different cool research projects Maia has led and contributed to (including sablefish research and crab harvest in Native Hawaiian fishponds), and more! If you've ever experienced a bit of an identity crisis while pursuing your career, this is the episode for you!
Main point: There are no prerequisites for succeeding in this field.
