49. The scientist at FWS
Mon Feb 18, 2013, 10:55 AM
Feb 2013

The ones who actually takes blood samples, ride in helicopters, and actually have access to the animals that they manage and are not just relying on journal papers someone else wrote to base their hypothesis. The guys with actual access who spend 365 days a year managing a population. These are opinions I respect. Not some hack living in D.C. who takes a plane ride once a year.

I am a toxicologist and I do environmental remediation work, air, groundwater, soil.

The Dr. Fallon you cite appears strange. I do not see any real research papers done by her, only a few review articles of other people's research (which are erroneously referred to as "studies&quot . I do not see what creds she has to call herself a "senior" scientist. That is kind of weird for folks in this line of work. I know when I google my name, my research and projects are the first hits on Google.
