Full I Am A... Series

Welcome to the "The I Am A..." series, a whiteboard animation video series highlighting USGS careers. The concept is to show whimsically "what society (or my mom) thinks I do" compared with "what I really do." Here we have Disease Ecologist, someone who studies patterns of disease within plant or animal populations.

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 disease ecologist (i.e. someone who studies patterns of disease within plant or animal populations).
