Every Friday night I do research on the effectiveness of the liver to break down toxins. And every Saturday morn I do more research on the effects of dehydration on the human body. I'm nothing if not thorough and dedicated.

I know that some high schools in Washington state take part in stream and lake monitoring projects. How cool would it be to know that you are contributing to a body of knowledge in HS?

(Oh, and these kids are having more of an impact on Science than you ever will with your masters thesis. Nobody gives a rat's ass about south pacific mollusk chin-whisker growth. Ok, three people do, but you're one of them.)

Nope.
