About this listen

Seven weeks on the Pacific Ocean collecting climate data sounds idyllic—until the snack supply runs out - a low point on the high seas. As tensions rise and a black market for potato chips emerges, one scientist discovers her inner snack pirate. What starts as a tale of rigorous science turns into a salty truth: always bring your own snacks.

This story was told live at Bivouac Ciderworks on October 29th, 2025 as part of the "Little Lab of Horrors" SASSY event. Sophie Shapiro is a physical oceanographer getting her PhD at the Scripps Institution of Oceanography.
