Questions in my head, in the middle of my Master's journey
Hi.. I am Elsa, a Master's student in marine ecology, at Korea Maritime and Ocean University. I have finished two semester here, and so far, my study focus is on marine benthic fauna diversity and ecology. Nowadays, I can say that I am a bit lost in finding out what I want to do in my Master's study (related to my thesis and study focus). Since I have been studying Biology, the idea of "to love the nature" has driven me to this stage: pursuing a Master's degree. The idea of "sustainability in regulating our world" also takes a large part. Imagining knowing the ecological terms and how nature works, then using that knowledge to face challenges or real problems, is amazing but somehow tiring. It's quite hard to come back to the idea that general ecological knowledge that we know today are come from small-scale discoveries and then developed to a large scale by scientific communities. My research experiences were mostly working on basic knowledge. Mari
