“Reflecting on research experiences, I can say that my academic path has truly been fueled by my passion for studying brachyurans (crabs), in relation to aquatic toxicology. I cannot imagine myself pursuing any other field or group of organisms and it is the very epitome of loving what I do. As a P.hD candidate, I am more than familiar with the stringent side of research but this has only given me a better appreciation for what science has to offer; the biota I get to observe, the theories I get to investigate and the discoveries I get to make…”
