It is tough to choose my favorite science experience. I’d have to say that it was watching nonnative fish use different habitats in the dark in a lab experiment. We marked fish with fluorescent paint and used a black light so the fish couldn’t see us observing them. This process was the subject of my Master of Science research in the late 1990s. You can earn a Master of Science degree after earning your Bachelor’s degree in college.
