Chad, a researcher, ecologist, and science communicator, is deeply committed to sustainability. Growing up immersed in Nova Scotia's biodiversity, he now pursues an MSc in Biology at Dalhousie University.

As an ecologist with the Mersey Tobeatic Research Institute, Chad's diverse work includes researching rare plants, tracking invasive species, and searching for endangered turtles. His graduate project explores Nova Scotia's natural areas, uncovering details about their forest homes.

Chad aims to continue fighting for the natural world, researching ecosystems, and guiding society towards a sustainable future. This talk was presented at a TEDx event. Learn more at TEDx website.

Smartfin is an innovative surfboard fin enabling scientists to collect vital ocean data with the help of surfers worldwide. This project is a collaboration between engineers from the Scripps Institution of Oceanography and students from UC San Diego's Computer Science and Engineering department.

Traditionally, collecting near-shore data has been challenging due to waves damaging research instruments. Smartfin turns this obstacle into an advantage by enlisting the surfing community, transforming their activity into a valuable data-gathering effort.
