      Hi Snoopy2!

      That’s a difficult questions, I have two favourite things:

      1) Going out to do field work! As a scientist I get to go to amazing places to study animals and plants living in them. For example in the past I got to go to coral reefs in Egypt, to the Amazon rainforest in Ecuador and the Savannah in Bolivia. Now I am working at the sea side, its awesome.

      2) Being allowed to be curious. For my job I get to ask questions about nature and then I get to try to find the answers. Sometimes I am doing that by going to the field to collect or observe animals in the wild and sometimes I get to do experiments!
