Forest Service Station: Rocky Mountain Research Station

I like being a scientist because I love to read, write and explore. My research is really exciting to me, and I look forward to it every day. Holding small mammals, smelling the grass, watching a prescribed fire - these are the things that make field research so much fun.  I also love to write up my research.  It's exciting when a new publication comes out and you get your pack of reprints in the mail.  As a scientist I also get to travel all around the world to talk about my research and to explore different ecosystems.  I never stop learning- and that is big fun!
