Salty Science

Welcome to the Salty Science Salt-Tea Cafe podcast and vlog! In this episode, the discussion centers around the phenomenon that seawater is SALTY! Stephanie and Amy both share personal experiences about how this phenomenon has impacted their lives personally, recreationally and professionally as marine scientist. They also share how this phenomenon impacts all of their friends and family who live miles away from any coastal area. The tea served at the Salt-Tea Café in this episode is Cherry Iced Tea found at Quintin's Tea Emporium also known as SoVA (Southern Virginia) Tea Company-Quintin's Tea Room.
