RE: Ever wondered what pursuing a career in science is like? The perks and disadvantages of being a natural science researcher.
Yeah, there are ups and downs in every science profession, I imagine. I have a cousin who works in Alaska, tagging salmon and studying them year after year. She encountered a bear one time, and unfortunately, she had to shoot the bear as a self-defense measure. She felt terrible afterward, and I imagine it still affects her in some ways. Cheers to you for your efforts to make the world a better place.
Oh, that's an awful thing to deal with, indeed, but I am glad she was physically unharmed. It takes a lot of dedication and courage to be a natural scientist going out into the wilderness to carry out field work like that.
Thank you for your comment! And cheers back ;-)
