The Science Communication Intern from the Association for the Sciences of Limnology and Oceanography (ASLO) recently published a summary of a panel hosted at the Ocean Sciences Meeting 2016 that discussed different kinds of careers that exist outside of academia. It is a great read for geoscientists seeking employment outside of academic research.
