Too many interesting opportunities, too many decisions, ... 🥺

Seems it's either birds or snakes for me. I do love both, so pretty accurate indeed.

Plants rule!

is that a stinkhorn at the bottom??

As someone who studied frog calls, they missed the shorter path of “Would you rather sleep all day and work at night” it might have led to bats as well.

That sent me round in cricles! Conclusion: I want to I study ALL THE THINGS after 10 am (and at least one cup of coffee). 🤣 ☕ 🐸 🐠 🦔 🐦 🐍

this is terrific

this is so appropriate for my aspiring mycologist teen

delightful. 🍄

Plants. Definetly. Plants don't run.

Of course fungi win!

love this chart

Can I get this as a poster for my room???

🤣 I never thought I would see "Eh, needs more mucus" as a decision on a flowchart.

I am going to show this to my 8th grade daughter who has, out of nowhere, decided that fungi are immensely fascinating.

I have to add minor in chemistry or maybe a double major if someday you want more salary.

lol

Hmm. There are other potential questions ...

My lad tried a project on tree frogs in a jungle, which involved amongst other things measuring the pH of the water pools in bromeliads at night (or some such). An easy peasy project to publish about, as there appeared, he thought, to be very little existing literature.

But it turned out that carrying a ladder (and a bunch of other kit) around a jungle at night by the light of a head torch is *hard* ... which is no doubt why nobody had done the work before. An interesting theory meets the hard reality of field work logistics. He switched to a different project.

So, there's still some "easy" research here that nobody has done. 🤣 🐸

… +++ …

Now I know why I wound up at plants!

That and the fact they're easy to study as they wander very, very, very slowly. Easy to catch. 😄

This flowchart lead me to frogs, which is actually one of my favorite animals. Cool.

It's great 👍🏻 but what about those of who studied large (not so fast moving) mammals? 🤔

My father was a microbiologist. I think he would have laughed at this.

I think it's funny humans aren't on here when there's still a bunch of stuff that we're like "we GUESS this is how it works but we can't prove it,,,yet" like how Tylenol/paracetamol actually works

I got Moths.

I'd have preferred mammals, fish or reptiles.

I got microorganisms 🦠

As a forager I agree 🍄

I pick fungi

> fungus amongus

the wacky genes kind 😂

At one of my grad school interviews, one lovely women stated to me, dead serious, "yeast is the Rolls Royce of organisms."

I work at a natural history museum and this has been hanging on my office door for years 😉

“Other amazing arthropods”

botanist

Priceless. Truly priceless.

microorganisms!

I favor plants (especially trees) and fungi. Fungi growing on trees would be ideal.

Plants it would be for me.

mammals or birds

micro organisms for me.

Brilliant! 😀
