Nam Siu has extensive education and experience in marine science. He holds a Master's degree in Biology from Western Washington University and a Bachelor's degree in Marine Science and Biology from the University of Tampa. His thesis focused on the effects of elevated temperature and ocean acidity on bacterioplankton communities. He has published several papers and presented his research at numerous conferences. Siu has worked on research projects studying hydrothermal vent communities and the impacts of climate change on bacteria. He is currently working as a marine science educator.
