My favorite part of being an aquatic biologist is being around water and being able to be involved in the protection of aquatic environments.
Aquatic Biologists don’t like anglers. Many of us are avid anglers!
When I was 15, I would record keep and run the scoreboard for local youth hockey games.
If I could pick up a new skill in an instant, it would be to have perfect spelling and grammar.
Be the change in the world you want to see.
