And so when I, like I started my PhD research, it was very much like in the deep end, you
boats, water, waders, making a fire, driving a four wheel drive, like all that stuff was very foreign to me in the beginning.
So the learning curve was, I would say very steep, but yeah, I really found my feet with it, I think.
And, you know, like, I love it now.
I love being outdoors, being in nature.
So it's worked out pretty good, I'd say.
Yeah, I try to.
Like when I first started this research, it was very much, oh, look at like cute animals.
I love this.
I still feel that way about platypus, but I think some of the special parts now is actually getting to share that experience and share this like incredible animal with other people.
So yeah, really any opportunity I get to take friends, family, anyone out in the field, you know, it's like a real privilege to be able to share that experience.
No, I wasn't.
I was looking for like an honors master's project when I was still an undergrad.
And one of the professors kind of said that they had this platypus project coming up.
And so I went and saw him and he said, oh, like,
It's too soon.
It's still a few years off, like nothing's kind of in motion yet.
And so I kind of laid that dream to rest.
And then a few years later, I saw an advertisement for a PhD position, at which stage I had like no interest in going back to university to study.
So I kind of, again, I dismissed it.
