I’ve been studying my wife for over 50 years; still clueless.
Yep. Works for me – goes right to birds.
Attribution corrected.
I study large hairless mammals who are the dominant species on earth. Specifically, I study the myriad ways they have screwed up in recorded history (and a few good things). Sometimes I think biology or palaeontology would have been simplerester.
Where do slime molds fit?
chigau:
Anywhere that is damp — under rotting logs, in wet leaves, lawns, wood chips, even some fish tanks. And, being rather free form, they fit anywhere.
(Yeah, not what you meant, but if someone feeds me a straight line, I’m all over it like scratches on eyeglasses.)
I prefer to study yeast, and more specifically, the effects of the byproducts of yeast metabolism on the consciousness of large mammals.
To be even more specific, large, bipedal social mammals.
What a Moon @9: You mean initially bipedal.
Maroon! Not sure if that was me or fuckin autocorrect. Still not quite used to the new MacBook.
Rob Grigjanis,
I’ve been called worse.
Have you been peeking at my lab notes? I still haven’t published.

Glad to help.

I think I’ll stick with studying dead things if it’s all right with you. Though the ones I study tend to have Latin names too…
cartomancer:
My career? Sorry, you specified Latin: Vitaemeae mortuus
Shouldn’t there also be the question “Do you spend most of your time online?” with no leading back and yes going to cats?
The mildly deranged penguin points out the most essential biologist’s tool is completely missing: A Ring of Power. With one, all sorts of ghouls and goblins and orcs and trolls and even some of the rarer cheeses seek you out. Being quick dissecting with a sword or an axe is a useful skill as some of those cheeses can be quite unfriendly.
I’d happily spend my life with horseshoe crabs.
