I loved bugs, snakes, frogs and fish. One time, as a First grader, I was asked to come to the Fifth grade classroom to show them all the animals I had collected, that inspired me even further.” How many years of school did you need to become a scientist? “I had to go to school for 22 years! A long time, but I loved it.” Have you always been interested in the ocean? “Yes, I’ve always loved ocean animals, in particular. I had lots of fish tanks growing up. One Christmas morning I woke up to find my small goldfish inside a large aquarium.” Which do you like better, the Arctic or Antarctica? “Currently, I like the Arctic better because the environment is changing. That is why we are here studying once again.” Leave a Reply Cancel Reply Your email address will not be published. Name* Email* Website Comment Notify me of follow-up comments by email.
