@kidflamess My research journey as a scientist in the Everglades ended up on TV. Thank you @fox13.news , @may_june_geminis and @kyliejonestv This is a surreal moment because it feels so random lol. It makes me happy knowing that people are genuinely interested in what I did. Not only am I sharing my journey, but my goal is to also spread more awareness about the Everglades and motivate others to get involved in any way that they can. #researcher #scientist #everglades #foxnews #stem
