Description
As much as Prosanta Chakrabarty loves his job as an ichthyology professor at LSU, his favorite part of the job is making human connections while doing fieldwork around the world. And whether it's trying every single cocktail in a bar in Tanzania or trash talking bosses in Bengali with locals in Kuwait, Prosanta has made tons of great connections and memories throughout his career. We talked to him about how he knew he wanted to be a zoologist from a young age, discovering new fish around the world, and partying in the middle of the Amazon River.Participants
