Since I am now a "professional in training" I guess I should write a more serious description. You know, adulting and all that....
Hello humans! My name is Eric and I am a biology student studying at Marquette University. This is largely a result of the passion and knowledge that I gained from iNaturalist. As opposed to what my original profile said, I am now largely focused on plants with my knowledge in birds slowly falling to the wayside. Yet overall, I have a little bit of knowledge about just about everything from fish to lichens to river mussels. Feel free to tag me about most things in South East WI, though I may end up just pointing you to more specialized people.

Things I Haven't Seen
Since I have had a couple people come to me with cool stuff that they have done with my observations, I'm going to start including some of that here!
