Hi,
I could not agree with you more on ALL of the things you wrote. Thank you. I too was a Marine Biology major, with animal behavior minor, and took every course at the numerous colleges, universities all around I could find - I met Jacques Y'ves Cousteau and both his sons twice, and seen alot of marine fauna and flora (did the sea weed lesson confuse you too? If it is brown, it can be red, not all greens are green, but browns etc..)...it is hard to get jobs in biology, and epsecially marine biology w/out Ph.D. or two of them!

As we know, 'Science' is not in stasis, it just appears that way to many who do not understand how it works...or maybe just impatient. If the latter is true, then they are welcome to get their hands dirty and try to change things! Klauber was a good example of a man w/tremendous passion and patience and changed rattlesnake biology even today! Nobody said you have to have a degree to do 'science', just the passion for it and that can take you far and wide...

Thanx, Cheers,
mbayless
