Making my passion my career!

[PseudotropheusKenobi]

Due to the clear lack of Rift nerds this side of the pond, I thought I’d share some news on here

I will begin my masters degree in environmental sciences in September ‘24. With a clear focus on water, this programme will enable me to learn a lot about freshwater environments in an academic sense, and allow me to conduct fieldwork abroad. Thus, I will likely base my thesis on Lake Malawi or Lake Tanganyika and spend some time there in 2025 as I conduct research.

Completing this course will enable me to pursue a PhD in limnology. This will provide exposure to researching freshwater environments in areas of great interest to me, such as East Africa and South America. As I gain experience and conduct research in academia, I hope to become a professor in this field, with a focus on the East African Rift Valley. I’m so excited!

Don't forget to discover new species and smuggle them back home so we can keep them in our tanks.

Lol and get you started in another career smuggling . May be more lucrative

If you're allowed to keep tanks in jail, maybe worth the risk.

Definitely, that’s the only reason I want to pursue this. Improve our hobby for everyone
