Even though I study four times as much here, I prefer to be here because there is more field work, and things are easier to learn when you're really into it. It's hard to learn about a sea urchin if you've never seen one. They don't build a home, they walk around until they find one that isn't being used. They are like homeless wanderers that find a home wherever they can. The marine environment is not as well managed as terrestrial systems.
Marine systems have a limit on the damage that they can sustain, just as terrestrial systems do.
We learned how fish swim. The biomechanics of collagen fibers in fish and how they work with water flow. But, someday I'd like to go back to get a Ph.D in biology. I learned all the different ways that sharks can swim. Probably I will end up doing something in computers or health care.
