Disagree. A profession lasts for how much time you receive money for your activity. Music stars receive money for their songs during their entire lives (and part of the lives of their children).

Ceanothus and the mophead relative Hydrangea serrata can attract Butterflies in summer or spring, but Buddleja is still wonderful in this sense. The hunt for the elusive sterile Buddleja stills keeps going. Lots of promises in that sense wi

My takeaway is that to be an ecological researcher one must be intelligent, curious, capable and have the desire to help people to live better. cliches are stupid.

I understand that the question here is why nobody studies parasite biodiversity. Well, this is a false claim. Sort of. Nobody notices or nobody cares about this researchers, is not the same as nobody studies.

As long as there aren't drivers on alcohol or coke in your city, they will not try to pass faster than you by that place. If somebody does and kills you, they will be fined, so is a... "you win". Maybe. Sort of.
