@kidflamess Wanted to show a visual depiction of what led up to me getting my Masters Degree in Biology at 23. I did 2 years of research in the Everglades, studying flocculent organic matter dynamics. This consisted of a lot of field work, lab work, and a A LOT of reading and writing. It was all worth it though. #researcher #gradschool #stem
