WEBSITE RECONSTRUCTION UNDERWAY

________

I am a trained ichthyologist turned social scientist who is interested in what gets people interested in natural history, biological sciences, and science careers. My passion is to find out what fuels curiosity for the natural world.

Biology-related serious leisure activities can impact people's interest in ecology, biology, and natural history. Do these activities promote biological understanding? If so, how does that progress, and to what level does it progress? 

If you’re interested in how I came up with this research program, refer to my essay in Science, My Metamorphosis.
