Thanks! But no, I don't think it's ever something I'd do professionally though - partly because turning a hobby into a job would make it become less enjoyable, but mostly because I've seen what proper professionals can do, and dear god they are frighteningly good. Though I suppose it would be nice to have a job that lets me do a little bit on the side, but I don't know what that could be.
Ha, I think I'd like your sister and her boyfriend/ex-boyfriend. I shared a house with two of my best friends who were also nerdy biologists, and we had many pedantic science arguments. And I dread to think what the neighbours thought about us the time we found a dead seagull in the garden and were hopping around its rotting corpse declaring "It's a juvenile!"
