I'm 16, homeschooled, and I study marine invertebrate zoology (look at my profile).
If you'd like me too, I can post some very interesting topics on molluscan taxonomy
and biology! Anyway, I just wanted to make my presence known.

Dear Jim;
Thank you for the wonderful welcome!
There aren't quite as many people named
James over here in the states; in case of
an identity crisis, I can also be called Jeremiah Chess, which is an anagram of James Cheshire. I am always very happy when people express interest in my profession, because usually people regard me as a stupid scientist. It's great to be part of the group!<P>All The Best,
James<P><P>------------------
