"He must, so know the starfish and the student biologist who sits at the feet of living things, proliferate in all
directions. Having certain tendencies, he must move along their lines to the limit of their potentialities."

Roots

Much of my Ph.D. work centered on Louisiana's LUMCON Lab at Port Fourchon.  Many long days and nights in Bay Champagne and the nearby marshes.  Haven't been back in almost 20 years.  Until today.  Collecting meiofauna samples in Timbalier Bay, and dredgimg up some good memories.
