I tried to explain my high school research on pine marten to my dinner companions while perched nervously on the dais. I haven{\textquoteright}t worn a penguin suit since, but every year has been just as fascinating as I{\textquoteright}ve worked my way down the {\textquotedblleft}food chain{\textquotedblright} from predators to prey to plants to soils, and up from science to management to policy, all thanks to an incredible series of careers, and amazingly just one job, as a research scientist with the USDA Agricultural Research Service.</p>
