That is fascinating Jamie. Are you a biologist?

No, I was a student living in Ecuador for an environmental studies program, and we got some behind the scenes time at a few of the research facilities in the Galapagos during our visit ... it was a fascinating place to see through that lens.

I'm a writer, and teacher, but I've been lucky enough to do lots of cool stuff in lots of cool places.

That is very cool though. I am surprised they let anyone on the islands, I thought they were closed off.

What are they like? Have you noticed any difference from those in captivity?
