Why did the fish blush? Because he saw the Ocean’s bottom! Yes, that’s how the first “Innovation in the ‘Burg” podcast starts.
Thanks to the St. Pete Catalyst you can now hear about this and other fascinating facts. The St. Petersburg Innovation District has launched a podcast series. This podcast is a fun and entertaining program to introduce the listeners to scientific research and other innovations happening in St. Petersburg. Designed for individuals who might not consider themselves “geeks,” listeners will gain an understanding of innovation and how it impacts their lives.
Hosted by Alison Barlow, Executive Director of the Innovation District, the first podcast features Dr. Mya Breitbart of the USF College of Marine Science and Tee Grizzard of LassiterWare. They talk about bacteria in our water and fish eggs while sharing more fish jokes.

The St. Petersburg Ocean Team is the premier consortium for marine science and related research, education and entrepreneurship in the Southeast. The Team is comprised of over 20 complementary firms, government entities, and institutions that are located near one another, many in the St. Pete Innovation District, that draw advantages from their proximity as well as the similarities between their workforce and vendor needs.
April’s Tech X-change was a hit, thanks to an engaging presentation from Digital Twin Marine. Shoutout to all the Eckerd College students who joined us! The audience was curious and interactive, asking great questions and eager to try out the virtual reality headset.
The District extends a warm congratulations to Natalia López Figueroa on earning her doctorate in Biological Oceanography from the University of South Florida. Natalia has made significant contributions to her community, particularly through her role as Chair of the Junior Scientist Program at the St. Pete Science Festival. We look forward to seeing her continued success.
