My study species is cooler than your study species.

One of the great things about being a marine scientist is that the organisms you study are different than the typical laboratory mouse (usually). While my lab is limited to invertebrates (clams, oysters and lobsters) Phill is fortunate enough to make it out of the lab and into the field where he gets to study a slightly larger vertebrate. Below is a picture of him with one of his test subjects.
