Maybe I missed it here or on aquatic plants... What is you thesis on?

1)Algae in Floridian springs.
2)Photorespiration in freshwater ecosystems
and 3)Themal cycling flux of substrates in aquatic ecosystems.

That should keep me out of trouble for a while.

As
my boys and I learned, falling off logs is half the fun ;-) Sometimes,
I
think when I retire, I'll go back to school ;-)

There's worse things you can do.

Phd or post-doc? Watch the slippery logs.

Are there unique types of algae in different springs. In a previous life,
as a student teacher, in Twin Falls Idaho, I found quite different micro
fauna in different springs and seeps in the Thousand Springs Area. Didn't
spend much time on the algae. Found myself with a federally protected darter
one, by accident. I took him home;-)

Had a friend who did some work on algae distribution in ponds in the Dry
Valley region of Antarctica. There was a normal sequence as one moved away
from the coast, except where people had worked. It seems that frozen lakes
make good helicopter pads. It appeared that algae was being moved around
stuck to helicopter wheels. I've heard that ducks do the same in temperate
regions.

Enjoy, my life hasn't been half as much fun since it was decided I was too
senior to do field work anymore ;-)
