Episode 040 - Dr. Nathan Robinson pulls the most famous straw in the world out of a sea turtle nose

Dr. Nathan Robinson is a sea turtle researcher and storyteller. He connects people to the ocean and it's wildlife through adventure and stories. He was the researcher who pulled the straw from the sea turtle's nose and its created a global ban on straws. Somewhere in the depths of the sea is the most famous turtle in the world - most likely never knowing that it changed humanity forever! "Ever since I can remember, I was always fascinated by two things: the ocean and dinosaurs. It is therefore fitting that I eventually began working with sea turtles" says Dr. Robinson. In this episode we talk about sea turtles, his recent video of the giant squid, and much more.
