Hello! Here and now following via rydra_wong's signal boost, and super down for finding fun internet biology friends!
I'm, um, unfocused at the moment, but I'm mostly an ecologist, and currently working in a bird lab. I'm really interested in species interactions, behavioural ecology, and I think maybe my heart lies with plants, and then periodically I get tempted over to the 'WTF we know so little!' side of phycology and mycology. (Common conversation I have: Someone else: 'So I hear you want to go to grad school, what do you want to research?' Me: 'I don't know! Everything is so interesting! There's so many cool questions out there! This is why I'm trying to get jobs in different fields and places to see what I like!')
I'm also eternally fascinated by cross-discplinary work; I love hearing the different perspectives people bring to things. Also the human and historical side of science; one of my best jobs was working in a herbarium and getting to find out how/why we had certain specimens and the people that were behind collecting, naming, and studying them. So, yeah, I'm kind of all over the place, interest-wise!
