Hah...I thought you had written "crustacean" research...which isn't exactly thrilling but it still could be pretty cool.

Cetacean is way cooler! People pay a lot of money to see dolphins and whales so I'm sure you'll have a great time. I once met someone who was a dolphin trainer at some sea park, her title was "senior killer whale trainer" and I thought that was just about the coolest job title ever.

lol yeah crustaceans aren't really my thing....

My prof actually just sent me a video they just made to help raise awareness for their cause. SO, if anyone's at all interested in what I'll be helping save this summer this video is definitely worth your time (IMO)

Well that video really helps me to see this option in a much better light. You'll definitely be part of a good cause.

Good call and congrats!
