Raises hand and waves it violently… I’m a nerd, too! Was formerly a biologist. And Carol, I did not know you went to UC Santa Cruz! You were a slug! I went to UC Berkeley. I love the UC system, but it’s super hard to get into now.For a while, I volunteered for a wildlife rehab facility where all I did was care for birds. And it's that adoration of avians that led me to own chickens.
Good for you on choosing such a rewarding career! Mine is rewarding, too, but there are no birds in my high school classroom. Wild animals, yes, but no birds - lol!
Good to know I'm not alone in my nerd-dom!
