Evolutionary Biologist

b'We chat with Dillon about life as an Evolutionary Biologist. From having a real fear of nature until the age of thirteen, Dillon did a 180 degree turn and decided to dedicate his career to understanding the evolution of animals specialising in reptiles and amphibians, to this day Dillon is not really sure what happened to his fear of nature. Dillon comes from a family of nature lovers, so much so that they own a pet store, so one way or another nature has always payed a role in his life. University consisted of going out into nature and looking for the species that Dillon had been learning about and then attending lectures on the nature and causes of evolution as well as learning about how to do effective research. Dillon has already had some amazing opportunities such as going to Belize to study different turtle species. Another great career choice for anyone who loves nature and science. A pleasure to chat with Dillon.'
