In this week's installment of our Human Nature series, two storytellers find resilience on the high seas. Part 1: Tragedy strikes suddenly while Lindsay Cooper is in the field studying right whales. Part 2: Rachel Cassandra dreams of a life on the sea, but her captain makes unwelcome advances. Lindsay Cooper is an operations professional who started out as a whale biologist. She spent years following endangered North Atlantic right whales up and down the U.S. east coast. Now she takes her three kids to visit the Smithsonian's Sant Ocean Hall in DC, where they can view one of her photographs in the right whale exhibit. She will always have a deep passion for conservation science and science outreach. Lindsay loves working behind the scenes to help Story Collider manage day -to-day operations. Besides hanging out with her kids, Lindsay takes time to volunteer for the local swim team and elementary school PTA. She loves coffee, pajamas, and dancing, and once a year you can find her performing with the famous Olney, MD Hip Hop Mamas. Rachel Cassandra is a journalist and essayist, working in print and radio. She lives with her snake, Squeeze, in Oakland, California. You can find her work at RachelCassandra.net. This story was adapted from a piece that Rachel wrote for Narratively, here.

As a NOAA employee at National Museum of Natural History, Vecchione is Curator of Cephalopods and a Curator of the Sant Ocean Hall. He has participated in 40 offshore research expeditions, 13 of them as Chief Scientist, studying deep-sea biology. Animal Instinct is powered by Simplecast

The Charleston community depends on the ocean -- economically, recreationally, gastronomically. Ever wonder how the health of the ocean will impact you? Deborah Cramer spoke at the College of Charleston's School of Sciences and Mathematics about the dependence of all life on the sea. Nobel Prize winner Al Gore wrote of Deborah Cramer's previous book "Great Waters," "I urge everyone to read this book, pass on its teachings, and act on its message." This book was released as the official companion volume to The Smithsonian's new, permanent Sant Ocean Hall at the National Museum of Natural History.

Ever wonder what goes into the making of an exhibit? We set up a webcam to monitor the progress of the NMNH's Sant Ocean Hall, which will be the Museum's largest permanent exhibition. Watch the time lapse of our progress from October 2007 to July 2008 here!

The oceans are essential for human survival. The Sant Ocean Hall at the Smithsonian National Museum of Natural History seeks to educate the public about the importance of the oceans. On this program, Deborah Cramer discussed Smithsonian Ocean, Our Water, Our World.
