Question 8 transcript:
"Well I think that the most exciting thing about studying forging behaviors is that everything eats so you can study the forging of just about anything. It can be the bumblebee in your backyard and how it finds flowers and uses those. It can be just about anything. So the opportunities for studying how animals interact with their food, whether it be a plant or an animal, and how they find that and how they make their living is something that anyone can do, either as a amateur naturalist or obviously in a more advanced way as a scientist."
