Hello I’m Rachel Hale, a Marine Biologist based in Aotearoa NZ. I study benthic ecosystems. This means I am interested in the small animals that live on the seafloor, what they do, and how the diversity and behaviour of these ecosystems is affected by stresses like climate change

@taramcallister4 Yeah pretty much. It's telling that the talking points of the trolls who highlight "useless" previoisly funded projects revolve a lot around trans, queer, disabled, indigenous based studies.
