 A lot of people think that science is boring, and it's not. It is so fun. I get to go to some of the most amazing places in Canada and look at what wildlife are doing and think about how they're living in those places and how they will be able to live there for years to come. I feel really strongly about using the knowledge we have as scientists and the voice we have as people to speak up for the things that can't speak for themselves. Plants, animals, all over the world are not involved in political or social decisions. We spend a lot of time working on grizzly bears, on wolverines, on caribou, on animals that need to move really, really long distances in order to survive and to thrive. Their science in every aspect of your life is just a question of starting to think, huh, why is it like that? I'm Erin Jacob, and I'm a conservation scientist in Canmore, Alberta.
