Interview With a Scientist

Take a glimpse into the life of a scientist. Our current featured researcher is Angela Collins.
Have you ever wanted to interview a scientist but were not quite sure where to start? Have you ever wanted to find out about the schooling and experience that a researcher has? Now you can!

Every other month, we will feature an interview with one of our researchers at the Fish and Wildlife Research Institute. The questions asked will be the same for each scientist and will include topics such as schooling and areas of research.

Our current featured researcher is Angela Collins. Angela works with the Marine Fisheries Biology subsection, where her primary interests focus on reef fish ecology. To learn more about Angela's current research on goliath grouper, read the September/October 2009 research spotlight article "Diving into goliath grouper research."
