The Tara Oceans expedition, co-led by EMBL\u2019s Eric Karsenti, has collected tens of thousands of samples from more than 150 field stations at sea and stopped in over 50 ports in a bid to understand better how marine life will react to impacts such as climate change and pollution. And it has provided a fantastic adventure for the crew involved. In this <a href=\"https:\/\/www.embl.org\/ells\/insight-lecture\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">EMBL Insight Lecture<\/a>, Eric Karsenti talks about this scientific adventure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Length of lecture: 1:15 hour<\/em><\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/details>\n\n\n\n<details  class=\"vf-details\" id=\"\"  >\n<summary class=\"vf-details--summary\">\nInterview<\/summary>\n<div class=\"acf-innerblocks-container\">\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The origin of the Tara Oceans expedition \u2013 an interview with Eric Karsenti<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-youtube wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-embed-handler wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"vf-embed vf-embed--16x9\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"The origin of the Tara Oceans expedition \u2013 an interview with Eric Karsenti\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/WHLpGJXAgrs?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Plankton\u2019s role in regulating the climate on Earth is of similar importance as that of the rainforests.

Inspired by Charles Darwin, he decided to combine his passions and organise a modern-day expedition to better understand life in the oceans.
