Question: Why do you like invertebrates so much and what made you so interested in invertebrates.

I have always been interested in small animals. When I was a kid my parents bought me a kids microscope set, I would chase my dogs and pick off hair and fleas to look at under the microscope. I like invertebrates because they do so much for the ecosystem, they turn over the soil, they cycle nutrients back into the soil. Just like earthworms, but in the marine habitat. If we didn’t have invertebrate eating all the dead animals and plants we would be in a very stinky world.
I became interested in invertebrates by accident, I wanted to work in a pathology laboratory (with blood and disease) but there were no jobs when I left university and the only job I could get was in a marine laboratory. I started working with worms and just fell in-love…
