Welcome to the “I Am A..." series, a whiteboard animation video series highlighting USGS careers.
I Am A...Disease Ecologist
Detailed Description
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).
Disease Ecologist:
disease = bodily disorder that produces symptoms, not an injury
eco- = “home”
-ology = “study of”
-ist = “person”
(i.e. “studier of how diseases affect ‘homes’ or habitats”)
