Éadin O'Mahony is a scientist, conservationist and an activist. She is currently taking her Masters in Marine Biology through St. Andrews University in Scotland. For her masters research project she is using drones to hover above whales as they breathe and collect their snot on a petri dish to see what she can learn from their DNA. During her undergraduate degree she would do field work during the summer months. Her travels have taken her to South Africa to reintroduce elephants and rhino's into game reserves, Ecuador to assess plant diversity in the territory of an Amazonian tribe to ward off pressures from the oil companies and to Japan to study squid sleep behaviour. Raised near the sea in Ireland Éadin formed a strong connection to the ocean that led her want to spend the rest of her life protecting it.
