If you like plants, animals, or simply like being out in nature, did you know that you can make a living out of your passion by becoming a biologist? You can get paid to study plants and animals, travel, and hike outside! We will discuss how to become a biologist and the different jobs there are. Specifically, you will learn what it is like to be a bat biologist. You will learn about the bat species of Kentucky, how biologists study them, and even get to practice being a bat biologist yourself!
