You might want to be a scientist
Audience:	High School
Description:	I never really considered a career in science while I was in high school, mostly because I didn't know anything about it. In this presentation I will talk about my life in science, from graduate school chasing nematode worms around in pig intestines...not for the squeamish...to my life now as a tenured member of the University of Florida faculty. Life in science is a lot different than what most students expect, and some may find in an attractive alternative to consider.

Duration:	1 hour or less
Fee:	Expenses Only
Comments:	I think a lot of high school students may benefit from this talk, and it may lead some to consider science as a career.
