Way more lab research than the field, I put the ecology section in my PhD proposal only because I wanted to go to the woods and that aspect of fungal Bioluminescence has not been studied since the 1980s... someone had to do it why not me, I like the woods. But yeah I really like what I am doing, I like my subject area, and I am so close to finding the genes (assuming the next few things go as expected, fingers crossed). Right now I am procrastinating from watching the field ecology videos I have collected, over the past year. I am actually taking a week off from wet-lab to get the ecology data annotation finished, I like collecting the ecology data, I do not like reviewing it...
Awesome, here's hoping it goes well for you! Hopefully, I'll be able to share your passion in a few years!
Much appreciate the advice. I haven't even gotten to the phase where I would be looking at labs. Just finished my first semester.
