How is your fish addiction funded? What do you do for a living?

Pretty sure neoprodigy neoprodigy is a man-whore.
 
That is pretty cool. For a while I was considering going into fish ecology but I concluded I enjoy math a little more.
With that being said, I work for the astronomy department at the university I attend. Our research is focused around quasars and quasar light absorption. I guess that makes me an astronomer.

Ahhh, that explains your interest in my planet X thread I made a while back.

I have a few telescopes that have helped me see all the planets except pluto and planet X(if it exists). I've also seen the Andromeda galaxy but only as a blur. I was never able to see it without the scope as I read you could.
 
I hike in streams in parts of coastal northern California, counting wild salmon and their redds(nests) for the state. The numbers go towards the states population estimates for two salmon species, the coho and chinook. My profile pic is an example of what I see at work.

How far north do you go? Humboldt or Del Norte Counties?
 
Saving lives!........well, not really

I commute 2.5hrs five days a week into a Boston hospital where they let me "play" with various expensive, radiation-emitting gadgets in various areas of the facility.....and they actually pay me for this :)

However, I have had 2 occasions where I've straddled a patient and gave chest compressions until their heart started beating again! Does this make me an attention whore like Li?

And this is how I fund my addiction...I mean hobby

I'm grateful for the job I have but I would love to get my hands on some exo planet research. I find that stuff really interesting.

I think the only way to see andromeda clearly is at an observatory. It think 10 million light years away? Lol
