Hello everybody,

I am in the market for a new field shoe. In the past, I wore more Merlin hiking shoes, but I need something that's a little bit more field-tough. I'm thinking about maybe just switching over to a boot. I would like my new shoes to be snake-proof, waterproof, and breathable, with thick sole padding, because I walk on various rocky terrains all the time, and I'd also prefer them not to give me blisters. If anybody has suggestions for these shoes, let me know.

Hello everybody,

I need some help here. Sometime around yesterday, my iMessages stopped working. I have full 5G bars, and I don't know what's going on, but none of my text messages are sending. How can I resolve this issue?

Hello everybody,

I'm looking to get a master's degree in Wildlife and Fisheries/related area. What schools should I be looking at? Who has good programs? Realistically, I'd like to start in 2027. I enjoyed field work and exploring new areas.

Thanks for all your help!

Hello everybody,

I have a bit of an odd question. As a child, I had an experience with a snake that got into my house, and it left me forever scared of snakes. Currently, I'm in the wildlife field as a field technician, and I was wondering how I could overcome my fear of snakes. I have done some fieldwork that has required me to handle snakes. It's not necessarily that I'm scared of snakes; (I think they are very cool) it's that I'm scared of being caught off guard. For example, just the other day I accidentally stepped on a snake, and that left me jumping at every little twig and branch that I snapped. Is there any way you guys recommend that I can overcome this mental roadblock when it comes to snakes and fieldwork?

Thanks.
