Dr Sylvia Earle has been exploring the seas for over half a century and at the age of 78 is still diving. She’s one of the world’s great oceanographers and was described as 'the first hero of the planet' by Time Magazine for her conservation work. She’s lead more than sixty expeditions worldwide and in 1970 she literally lived on the ocean floor, heading up a team of women ‘aquanauts’ on a two week underwater trip. When she and her team resurfaced they were given a ticker tape parade. Dr Earle spoke to Jane Little as part of the World Service series, The Age of Reason - interviews with women in their 70s and 80s who are global leaders in their field. Jane met Dr Earle at San Francisco Bay, where she visited DOER Marine, the company Sylvia Earle founded. It builds mini submarines for exploration. Jane asked Dr Earle what choices were available to girls who wanted to be scientists in the 1940s.
