About Me
- Ali Iyoob
- My name is Ali Iyoob, and I am a biology student at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. All my life, I have been fascinated by biology, particularly animals and ecology, and hope to devote my life to this worthwhile and fulfilling field of study. I have been active in a number of ornithological and herpetological research projects, allowing me to experience methods such as DNA analysis and radio telemetry. I worked at the North Carolina Museum of Natural Science in the ornithology department, where I conducted independent Buteo jamaicensis studies, and eventually made a few breakthroughs regarding the far-west subspecies of the bird. Through Project Simus, I was able to use radio telemetry to track the movements of the Northern Pine Snake. I also keep and breed venomous snakes, scorpions, and tarantulas, and hope to start milking venom from them for use in anti-venoms that are in consistent demand. By traveling to Colorado, Arizona, Florida, Texas, and the Carolinas, I now have a better understanding of population ecology and the reasons for environmental speciation.

Wow! Nice day! That's very good for mid-April, the birds seem to be coming up earlier this year. Just make sure to send them to NJ!
