Diving, Dining, and Divining

Know where your compass is, and you can draw your own map.

Relax, nothing’s under control.

Covering three months’ worth of stress and uncovering the future. Diving deeper into the biosphere.

Tired, unmotivated, and out of place – yet here I am. Running diagnostics and calibrating mischievous bog spirits. Wolves prove scary, sometimes. I make a New Year’s resolution.

My academic journey begins on the back of a bicycle and brings along new friends, micro-napping, dissections, and a huge number of scientific terms and names. In this episode, I reveal the secrets of life and death and will regret it for certain.

The time I sought advice from Risto Willamo, a retired docent. Hegel, systems thinking, and what to do next. I dissect a slug and a letter from the university arrives.

An episode of daydreaming, googling, and pondering. I also mock the Finnish nature relationship and talk about reindeer herding. I go back to high school and apply to a university.Audio clips from YouTube courtesy of their owners:Campus Catalogue – Conservation BiologistLinda Hall Library – How Do I Become a Wildlife and Conservation Biologist?Kristina Lynn – How to Become a Wildlife Biologist (in 5 minutes)
