Hi there!
This isn't the first time I've been reading this forum but this was the time I decided to register myself here
I'm a soon-to-be 23-year old Finnish girl studying biology at the University of Helsinki for the second year now. Still not sure about what I'm going to major in, neurobiology, physiology, and zoology have been quite strong but I've been finding myself getting more and more acquaint with marine biology..
For now, I've believed that scorpions would be the only animals that would measure up to the standards which keep my biologic interests ticking.. I love animals that havn't undergone any gross morphologic or overall change since the dawn of their forefathers (as I've understood, cephalopods havn't changed that much under 500my when scorpions range at about 400my). All that time to perfect the already perfect (Well OK scorpions were aquatic at first and then changed a bit when they became landlovers but it only had to do with the gravitational differences with these two environments)
I've been keeping herps and exotic inverts (snakes, venomous snakes, lizards, tortoises, scorpions, spiders, hermit crabs..) but keeping cephs.. man, as a goal, from where I am, I could compare that to the thought of man visiting the moon in the 1920's or something (if we ever did it, that's not my job to prove).
Don't think we have any ppl keeping cephs in Finland exept at SeaWorld aquarium by the Linnanmäki amusement part. Needless to say that making it a bit difficult to gain experience from direct contact. But it might be a project for the future
Any marine biologists with a need for a graduate paper student in a couple of years? Seriously, I would be interested (if someone has the information) about studying and working possibilities abroad having to do with these magnificent creatures.
Wishing you all the best!
