I'm RuizChris. A biologist and ecologist by training. I've been studying the natural world my whole life, and have a deep love for it. At heart, I'm an environmentalist and conservationist. sky exchange master id . I also love to play music and make art, both of which are a big part of how I express myself. When I'm not in the lab or at work, you can find me out in nature somewhere. Ecology is a fascinating field that I hope to continue my studies in next year at UC Berkeley. I'll be writing more about ecology and other topics as I get used to this new blogging platform.
