So far, my favorite science experience has been living and working in Uganda, East Africa, where I studied the effects of nonnative fishes on the Lake Victoria ecosystem. Uganda is a beautiful country full of amazing wildlife. I lived very simply in Uganda–with no running water or electricity. Living simply taught me that much of what we think we need in life we really don’t need. The people I met in Uganda were incredibly kind and friendly, and I never would have completed my research without their generosity and guidance.
