It hasn’t been easy for Suite101 to catch up with Julie Angus, the first woman to row across the Atlantic ocean. The adventurer, scientist and environmental activist is either atop her bicycle, hiking in the woods, or rowing around the world. We’re thrilled to welcome her as one of Suite101’s Guest Writers. Hear from Julie what it’s like to get intimate with oceanic ecosystems while being pummeled by hurricanes on her Atlantic ocean crossing. Then find out how she tackles the writing process in this three-part interview with Suite101 Science & Nature editor Jill Browne.
Julie Angus's articles:
Science & Nature on Suite 101 is the place to learn the basics of many science topics, and at the other end of the spectrum, to look closely at some wonderful discoveries in the world around us.
We are proud of the depth and breadth of expertise of the Science & Nature writers.
