Life of a scientist

Today I’m going to tell you about the life of a scientist. You may find this not cool but let me tell you something: this is the coolest thing you’ll hear all day.

First I know a female scientist and I got her on the phone to talk to her about something I or you may wonder.

This scientist is not the type to make stuff explode; she is a wildlife biologist who mostly studies large mammals. She is Laura Wolf, who works for Idaho Department of Fish and Game in Bonner County.

Let’s start with the first question: I asked, “Is there any advice for someone wanting to work as a biologist?” Her advice is “take classes, pay attention in science, visit some national parks to learn a little more about the wildlife, and go on hikes to take notes on what you see.”

Question number 2 I asked, “What inspired her to be a scientist” Her answer, “Well it started when I was a little girl about 10-11 years old.” She grew up in a city. When her family went on a vacation and went hiking, she would really love seeing all of the wildlife around her and decided that she wanted to help the wildlife and become a wildlife biologist.

Question number 3 I asked, “What is your favorite thing about being a wildlife biologist?” Her answer, “My favorite thing about being a wildlife biologist is being able to work with my coworkers and being able to share this experience with other people is just so cool.”

Question number 4 I asked, “What is your favorite animal?”

Her answer: “Well out of all of them in the world I would choose a mountain goat. For example, they have four stomachs and are just really cool.”

Last Question number 5 I asked, “What is the hardest thing about her job?”

“The hardest thing about my job is probably when people don’t agree with me when I’m trying to help and learn with the environment.”
