Hello! I am getting my NRT associates along with a wildlife ecology certificate at these next two years, and I am wondering how to continue to a bachelors afterwards. I know NRT isnt as science focused as ES, and although I could swich to ES it would be nice to make NRT work with getting a lot of experience instead. NRT is ususlly for getting into the job field, but are there post-secondary options for getting a bachelors/masters in other fields from it? Or is it too simple for that? I am especially interested in restoration ecology and invasive species removal.

Hello! My mother got her car back from a mechanic today, and as we drove home my phone picked up a wireless tag. It says to play sound, but no sound plays when I use it. However, the proximity scanner does work and I found its exact location area around the front driver seat area. I can't find the tag itself, and I'm worried that it might have been hidden in a really hard to get spot under the car seat. No sound is making it really difficult to find. Any tips or apps I can use to pinpoint exact location? Its a safety feature on my phone, but neither my mom or my brother's picked it up.

edit: Was not driving home from the mechanic, got the signal as I was in the car for the first time that day. Dad claims to have no knowledge of it and finds it weird. It says "Im here" on top and under the drivers seat.

Hello! Planning on getting a ramshorn/cherry setup, but my recent aquatic science class has made me weary. I have found out that I am VERY sensitive to the smell of what I think is ammonia. I have had sensitivites to other chemicals in science classes in the past as well, with irritation and breathing trouble when everyone around me foesn't even feel it.

I say ammonia because everyone in my class has to has a mini ecosystem (squatic ecosystem jar) that we keep closed exceot for one day where we open and test it each week. Every timr we do, within 5-10 minutes my eyes start stinging, and I feel irritation in my nose and mouth. Happened even worse with an open one I left at home, came home and i smelt it throughout the whole room and had to dump it due to it making me irritated in under 3 minutes and side effects lasting for 15 minutes.

I really want to keep shrimp, and my teacher is excited to give me supplies, but would I have this same difficulty with it chemical sensitivity wise? Even with a lid? If so, I don't want him to waste his resources or time as maybe then I'll try insects or something. It just sucks. Thanks!

Seeing a lot of different things and between here and r/invasivespecies and r/Ornithology I have learned a LOT about how most our species the public says are natural are invasive as crap. Are there any job careers related to the regulation of invasive species and the restoration of native species? The more I hear about it the more I'm interested in.

Side question: Why in the US do we idolize invasive species such as earthworms, honeybees, and even some pets we bring in. Other countries seem to be a lot better educated then our backwards public perception, such as Australia. Why doesn't our country make an effort to educate people?
