Not at all a biologist, or zoologist or horticulturist or anything from the life sciences.
Actually started off as a chemical engineer, then did a master's in biz and currently in, what else, IT!! Have rudimentary knowledge of genus, phyla, branch, kingdom(s) etc. Have tremendous admiration for the animal and plant and piscine worlds, especially considering how 'homo Sapiens' (the so-called 'wise humans') are screwing it up!
