I like exploring the aquatic world, microbes in particular. Thanks to everyone on iNat who has helped me make sense of the tree of life and encourages me to spend countless hours behind the microscope trying to get that perfect photo of some microscopic blob.

For microscopic observations, I use the usual observation date as the sampling date and then use the "Date of photo" field for when I actually took the photos. The location will be where the sample was collected and not where I store it afterwards, even if I keep it for years before getting around to examining it.
