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.

Phil is grinning exactly the same way he was when he was holding the 3.5" fish a few posts back.

Does he have a problem with scale?

Addendum: I wish I had a study species.

It would be a good eatin' fish if it weren't still alive and an endangered species. And yes, that is I have a fish pose/ grin. He also makes tha face when he is holding a pole with no fish, or wining a large sum of money. What can I say he is fairly easy to please.
