Last week, for our Biological Oceanography lab, we went out to the local marsh to do some fish sampling. Besides my joy at getting to play with hundreds of Fundulus and slogging through the marsh, I was also out there with a great cohort of grad students and some of the most enthusiastic undergrads I have had the pleasure of working with.

Difficult to find much to complain about when one's vocation and avocation line up so perfectly.
