Detailed Description

*Happy Halloween*

Welcome to the “I Am A..." series, a whiteboard animation video series highlighting USGS careers. The concept is to show "what society (or my mom) thinks I do" compared with "what I really do." One image captures a more whimsical representation of a "scientist" in a particular field and the second demonstrates a more accurate representation of what that professional really “looks” like at work.

This video is about a chiropterologist (i.e. someone who studies bats).

Chiropterologist:

chir- = “hands”

-pter = “wing”

-ology = “study of”

-ist = “person”

(i.e. “studier of creatures with winged hands”)
