Is This The Rest of My Life?...

I think a lot of students or hope- to -be students stress about what exactly they want to specialize in when they consider graduate programs. After all, whatever it is their dissertation is on will mold their path for the rest of their life, right? Actually, it turns out that notion is wrong. I’ve spoken with some wildlife professionals that have told me stories about how the subject that they focused on in grad school actually had almost nothing to do with any of their actual jobs.

Should a Professional Work for Free:

In nearly 30 years working in the field, I’ve learned one thing about “free” work – people value it nearly equally with what they pay for it. If you do something for free, people most often don’t appreciate it and either will not follow your advice or will then go hire someone they view as ‘more knowledgeable’ (e.g they expect to be paid) and, often the next consultant sells them a more expensive version of what you gave them for free. That said, here’s my answers: Read More

Gear Review! Seattle Sombrero Rainhat

With the coming of Hurricane Sandy and working outside, it was a perfect time to talk about one of my favorite pieces of gear: The Outdoor Research Seattle Sombrero Rain Hat.

On The Environment...

If we continue to address the issue of the environment where we live as though we're the only species that lives here, we'll create a disaster for ourselves.
Gaylord Nelson
We abuse land because we regard it as a commodity belonging to us. When we see land as a community to which we belong, we may begin to use it with love and respect.
Aldo Leopold
The college idealists who fill the ranks of the environmental movement seem willing to do absolutely anything to save the biosphere, except take science courses and learn something about it.
P.J. O'Rourke, Humorist
Let every individual and institution now think and act as a responsible trustee of Earth, seeking choices in ecology, economics and ethics that will provide a sustainable future, eliminate pollution, poverty and violence, awaken the wonder of life and foster peaceful progress in the human adventure.
John McConnell, Founder of International Earth Day
