I Am AMalacologist

Welcome to the “I Am A... series, a whiteboard animation video series highlighting USGS careers. The concept is to show what society (or my parents) thinks I do compared with what I really do. One image captures a more whimsical representation of a scientist in a particular field and the second demonstrates a more accurate representation of what that professional really “looks” like at work. • This video is about a malacologist (i.e. someone who studies mollusks). • Malacologist: • malakos- = “soft body” • -ology = “study of” • -ist = “person” • (i.e. “studier of soft-bodied creatures”) • Thank you for watching, we appreciate your support.
