Male, 25

After doing an undergraduate degree in marine biology, I'm now doing a marine biology PhD in the UK at the National Oceanography Centre, Southampton. I love what I do, but, contrary to popular belief, very few marine biologists actually swim with dolphins or spend their days scuba diving. In my spare time I edit a blog on marine science. Below is a link to a blog post I wrote on why I dread telling people I'm a marine biologist. I recommend that you check it out!

Hi, i live several miles from the gulf of mexico. Today i found a dead gastropod on the pavement in front of my house. How did it get there? Could a bird have carried it for miles, dropped it, then forgot about it?
